Description:
Sock It! Oral Hydrogel Wound Dressing is designed to manage pain from wounds and lesions in the mouth and help protect compromised tissues. According to the manufacturer, the gel establishes and maintains an optimal wound healing environment, and supplies important nutrients to cells involved in wound healing. Sock It! relieves pain by adhering to the wound surface and forming a barrier, thus protecting the wound from contamination and irritation. As described by the manufacturer, the gel binds cations at the site of injury and inhibits their entry into nerve cells, preventing initiation of the pain impulse without causing the numb sensation characteristic of anesthetics. Sock It! usually adheres to tissues (and provides pain relief) for an average of 3-4 hours. Sock It! is composed entirely of naturally occurring food ingredients, including a food preservative system. Sock It! is indicated for use on all types of wounds and lesions of the mouth, including injuries and ulcers of the oral mucosa, mouth sores, extraction sites, orthodontic irritation, denture sores, mucositis, and stomatitis. Sock It! is available in a box of 25 individually packaged, 10-g syringes, each with a tapered dispensing tip. Sock It! was evaluated by 23 consultants in over 165 clinical cases and received an 85% clinical rating. Product Features
