10 x 20mm Curagen Collagen Plug - 10/Box (SA001020)

CURAGEN™ is a porous and absorbent collagen wound dressing. It is designed for use in tooth extraction sites and oral surgeries to stop bleeding and reduce post operative pain. Curagen™ wound dressing is made of non-crosslinked bovine Achilles tendon collagen and avail-able in various sizes and configurations.

• Lessen post-surgical pain & duration
• Higher bone mineralization density
• Large collagen pore structure
• 4-week long resorption duration

Uses

• Extraction Socket Preservation: Placed directly into standard or large extraction sockets to protect the site and stop localized bleeding
• Graft Containment: Functioning as a protective barrier on top of granular synthetic bone grafts (like Unigraft) to prevent particle washout
• Biopsy & Donor Sites: Packing mucosal donor sites or palatal wounds following connective tissue harvesting to accelerate tissue closure
• Minor Oral Surgeries: Covering and sealing soft tissue wounds, flaps, or sinus floor tears during advanced dental implant procedures

Features

• Purified Bovine Achilles Tendon: Sourced from highly biocompatible, non-crosslinked type-1 collagen to offer clean cellular interaction without adverse immune responses
• Large Interconnected Pore Structure: Designed with macromolecular space formatting that absorbs wound exudates and blood rapidly, creating an optimal matrix for cell migration
• Highly Compressible & Malleable: Easily fits into irregular, deep osseous contours when dry and expands gently upon wetting to adapt securely to the cavity wall
• 4-Week Resorption Profile: Stays intact long enough to scaffold structural tissue formation before entirely resorbing over roughly 28 days

Benefits

• Rapid Hemostasis & Clot Stabilization: The collagen fibers physically bind with blood components to encourage rapid platelet aggregation. This controls minor bleeding and actively stabilizes the preliminary blood clot within the defect
• Lessen Post-Operative Pain: Clinical studies highlighted by the manufacturer show that packing sockets with pure Type I collagen significantly reduces the severity and duration of post-surgical pain, improving patient comfort
• Higher Bone Mineralization Density: According to localized research data, using this pure collagen structure contributes to a roughly 10% higher bone mineralization ratio within the extraction site over untreated controls
• Prevents Tissue Collapse: Effectively tents and maintains soft tissue structure over oral cavities, minimizing structural shrinkage of the surrounding architecture during the initial weeks of healing
