Airgid Small 10mm - 20pcs

M3 Airgid - Small 20 pieces of 10 × 10 × 10 mm hemostatic collagen gelatin sponges with silver Airgid is a gelatin sponge containing colloidal silver that can be used to prevent wound infection and bleeding after extraction. Unlike pure gelatin sponges, the presence of silver helps provide antibacterial activity throughout the full absorption period. Rapid hemostatic stop Clot support Broad spectrum antibacterial effect Complete absorption Benefits Achieving and maintaining surgical hemostasis quickly is essential for successful wound healing. Natural healing begins with clot formation that closes the wound. If the clot does not form or is destroyed or lost, healing is disrupted. Using Airgid helps promote clot formation and reduces its risk until effective healing begins. How it works Airgid works to prevent wound infections as well as control primary, reactive, and secondary bleeding after extraction. When applied, the Airgid sponge can absorb more than its weight in blood, reducing the "dead space" in the wound and stabilizing the blood clot. This is the first step toward achieving hemostasis. Primary bleeding is stopped when Airgid slips tightly into the cavity. Reactive bleeding is deterred as the tight Airgid prevents secondary openings and cavities from forming when the blood clot contracts. Argid helps prevent secondary bleeding usually caused by infection and can occur up to fourteen days after surgery. Silver ions from the colloidal silver, associated with the gelatin sponge, are highly responsive to the moist environment, easily reducing bacterial presence at the site. As the sponge is absorbed, silver continues to be released, extending the antibacterial effect, preventing infection, and further promoting healing. Local delivery of silver directly to the intended site means reduced systemic circulation and decreased risk of systemic side effects. How to use Airgid Once the tooth is extracted and the site is filled with blood, dry Airgid is applied to the wound. Airgid can be cut to the appropriate size to fit snugly but should not be compressed. The sponge will fill with blood and work to encourage blood clot formation and stop bleeding. No further irrigation is needed as the placement of Airgid is a jaw treatment. If necessary, the wound can now be sutured with Airgid in place.
