BioStōm® Oral Hydrogel Wound Dressing is an FDA cleared, non-opioid wound dressing gel for the relief and management of oral pain and wound protection.
BioStōm is packaged in syringes for precise application and will be provided non-sterile and is not intended to be sterilized before use. Because BioStōm is to be administered several times per day, it will primarily be used at the home, office, or other non-clinical settings. However, BioStōm may also be used in clinical or healthcare facility settings where patients are receiving services.
BioStōm should be applied to completely coat and cover the wound. BioStōm may need to be reapplied after eating, drinking, brushing, or rinsing; BioStōm can be re-applied as many times as needed. After applying, patients should avoid eating and drinking or rubbing their tongue against the applied area.
A proprietary blend of all-natural ingredients including:
BioStōm® manages the pain of oral wounds, mouth sores, injuries and ulcers of the oral mucosa
BioStōm® adheres to oral tissue and forms a protective barrier between the wound and further irritation and contamination
BioStōm® also maintains a moist wound environment
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.
BioStōm should be applied to completely coat and cover the wound. BioStōm can be re-applied as many times as needed.

No. BioStōm does not contain anesthetics or other drugs. It helps reduce discomfort by protecting tissues and by interfering with the initiation of a pain signal. It is not absorbed and does not numb tissues.
Just as some spices can feel “hot,” one of the food ingredients in BioStōm can produce a mild hot sensation in some individuals. BioStōm does not harm the tissue, and this feeling lasts for only a few seconds.
