Frequently Asked Questions

  • BioStōm is an FDA cleared, non-opioid oral wound dressing hydrogel indicated for oral pain management and protection.

  • BioStōm is a proprietary formula made of all-natural, food-grade ingredients. BioStōm contains mannose polysaccharides from Aloe vera, xylitol and a tiny amount of essential oils of cinnamon, clove, and thyme.

  • First, a thin layer of the gel adheres to injured oral tissues and helps protect them from further irritation and contamination. Its pH is compatible with saliva so that it is soothing to oral tissues. Second, the gel matrix prevents the initiation of a pain signal without altering normal physiology. It does so by working outside nerve cells where it prevents sodium ion entry into the nerve cells initiating a pain signal. It is not absorbed into tissues or the bloodstream and it does not numb tissues as do benzocaine, lidocaine and other topical anesthetics.
