Gelatamp?is a?gelatine sponge for the prophylaxis of wound infections and secondary bleeding after extractions.?Gelatamp contains colloidal silver and is therefore distinctly different from pure gelatine sponges. The silver leads to a broad antibacterial effect over the entire absorption time and gives gelatamp its specific brown colour.

• Rapid initial hemostasis
• Stabilization of the coagulum
• Broad bactericidal depot effect
• Complete resorption

COMPOSITION:

• Hardened gelatine Ph. Eur. 9.5 mg
• Colloid silver Ph. Eur. 0.5 mg

INDICATIONS:

The treatment of alveoli and wound cavities, e.g. after

• ?Extractions
• ?Apical amputations
• ?Maxillary sinus perforations
• ?Other surgical treatments (removal of tumours or retained teeth)

Prophylaxis of

• Secondary cavity formation
• Wound infections
• Secondary haemorrhage prophylaxis as well as a dressing after gingivectomy and in periodontopathies

?ADVANTAGES:

• Rapid initial haemostasis following extractions is an important step in initiating wound healing.
• The haemostatic process forms a coagulum which is the decisive link to the resulting granulation tissue which finally replaces the coagulum.
• Disturbances in wound healing often occur if the coagulum is not formed, a formed coagulum is destroyed or if it is lost due to inappropriate post-operative patient behaviour.
• The use of Gelatamp counteracts these influencing factors in various ways and has been proven to reduce disturbances in wound healing.
