How to use EquiAlveoPlug?
Once the tooth has been extracted and the area is filled with blood, dry EquiAlveoPlug is applied to the wound. EquiAlveoPlug can be cut to the desired size for a perfect fit, but must not be compressed.
The sponge will absorb blood and act immediately to promote blood clot formation and stop the bleeding. No further irrigation is required, as the placement of EquiAlveoPlug constitutes treatment of the socket. If necessary, the wound can now be sutured with EquiAlveoPlug in place.
Keep the cover tightly closed to ensure a longer life span.
20 pieces of collagen-based haemostatic gelatine sponges containing silver – 20 mm x 20 mm x 20 mm = 8,000 mm³
Indications
- Socket extraction as part of one or two-stage implant placement.
- The general treatment of alveoli and wound cavities, e.g. after cystostomies, apical amputations, maxillary sinus perforations, following surgical removal of tumours or retained teeth.
- Prevention of secondary cavity formation.
- Prophylaxis of wound infections.
- Secondary haemorrhage prophylaxis.
Dose / Application / Administration
The size of the small sponge can be adjusted to fit the wound cavity if need be, without squeezing. Two HDE EquiAlveoPlug plugs will fit the larger wounds.
The sponge is immediately placed dry and unsqueezed in the fresh, blood-filled wound cavity and should be allowed to absorb as much blood as possible (visual inspection).
The sponge must not protrude over the inner gingival margin so as not to adversely affect the desired epithelisation.
It constitutes definitive treatment of the alveolus, and there is no need for subsequent rinsing.
HDE EquiAlveoPlug remains in the wound and completely absorbed within 3-4 weeks.
