DSI Silver Sponge

What are the ideal, universally valued by dental clinicians properties of a hemostatic agent? It should be safe, sterile, bacteriostatic, effective, well-tolerated, affordable, able to be rapidly applied. And this is the exact description of DSI Silver Sponge. 

DSI Silver Sponge offers both haemostatic and bactericidal effect. The material is a gelatin collagen sponge presatured  with colloidal silver.

Colloidal silver has become an innovative pharmaceutical substitute for iodoform, which has gone out of use in many countries or require a complex registration procedure. 

DSI Silver Sponge stabilizes blood clots, promotes coagulation by facilitating the accumulation of thrombocytes and ensures rapid hemostasis. 

The colloidal silver in DSI Silver Sponge is a powerful weapon against a broad range of microorganisms found in the oral cavity, even including antibiotic-resistant bacteria. 

The sponge, tightly fitted, eliminates the risk of formation of secondary cavities and fissures. 

Another distinct advantage of DSI Silver Sponge is a long-lasting antimicrobial activity. Silver does not dissolve easily and stays in the sponge, providing a continuous release of silver ions for the whole duration of the resorption process.
