Chlo-Site from Oraldent is an easy way to manage periodontal pockets. This non-surgical option for efficient healing of periodontal wounds and related problems is composed of a new type of xanthan gel.
The accessory action of chlorhexidine is capable of maintaining the gel free of contamination for at least 15 days. Thanks to the muco-adhesive properties of the xanthan, Chlo-Site adheres to the mucosal tissues acting as a sterile barrier that physically impedes the re-colonisation of bacteria.
Chlorhexidine is present in the gel at a concentration of 1.5%, of which 0.5% is in the form of a fast releasing digluconate and the remaining 1% is in the form of a slow releasing dihydrochloride to maintain the microbiological integrity of the xanthan gum. Supplied in ready to use disposable syringes, Chlo-Site is easily applied into the deepest portion of the periodontal pocket with the specifically designed rounded tip needle to minimise trauma to the tissues.
