Soluble Dental Gauze Dressing
GelGauze™ is made from biocompatible regenerated cellulose, chemically treated to become water-soluble, and contains no chemical additives. Upon contact with moist oral wound, the material dissolves and transforms into a gelatinous material. By applying gentle pressure at this time, the material will adhere to the wound and form a barrier, protecting the wound from further irritation. GelGauze™ dissolves in a few days and is safe if swallowed. Excess dressing material may be removed by rinsing with sterile water or saline solution.
