Chlo-Site from Oraldent is the new, non-surgical option for the most efficient healing of periodontal wounds and related problems. Composed of an innovative type of xanthan gel – a hugely advantageous vehicle for clinical applications, Chlo-Site is the only gel where 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. Chlo-site is effective as an adjunctive in the management of periodontal and peri-implant pockets and unlike other topical treatments, will not induce bacterial resistance.
