Zimmer Dental Introduces Battlefield Technology for Oral Wound Care

Zimmer Dental Inc., a leading provider of dental oral rehabilitation products and a subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings, Inc., is pleased to announce the availability of the HemCon® Dental Dressing — a revolutionary wound dressing material that utilizes a unique, propriety technology to effectively seal the wound and minimize pain in various surgical procedures, culminating in a more positive experience for both clinicians and patients. HemCon® Bandages have been a top choice for the U.S. Armed Forces in battlefield wound care since 2003.

Designed to become extremely sticky when placed in contact with blood, the HemCon Dental Dressing immediately seals and protects the wound, while simultaneously relieving pain. Safe, sterile, and easy-to-use, the dressing eliminates the need for traditional sutures in a number of common dental applications — including tooth extractions, donor site soft tissue grafts, biopsies, maxillofacial trauma, and surgical flap procedures — expediently stabilizing the blood clot, and dissolving over time.

The HemCon Dental Dressing, manufactured by HemCon Medical Technologies Inc. and exclusively distributed by Zimmer Dental, is made from chitosan, a biocompatible polysaccharide derived from the exoskeleton of arctic shrimp. In addition, the innovative product offering contains no human/animal clotting factors.

For decades, Zimmer Dental has gained the trust of thousands of clinicians worldwide who count on its comprehensive line of scientifically-proven products to deliver successful patient outcomes and the best value in the industry. The availability of the HemCon Dental Dressing further reinforces Zimmer Dental’s industry-leading family of regenerative products.
