Normal healing is initiated by the formation of a coagulum that closes the wound. If the coagulum is not formed or if it is destroyed or lost, healing is disturbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUsing Airgid promotes the formation of and reduces the risk to the blood coagulum so that productive healing can begin.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHOW IT WORKS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen applied, an Airgid sponge can absorb more than its own weight in blood, reducing the ‘dead space’ of the wound and stabilizing the blood coagulum. This is the first step in gaining haemostasis. Primary haemorrhage is arrested as the Airgid fits snugly into the cavity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReactionary haemorrhage is deterred as the close-fitting Airgid prevents gaps and secondary cavities from forming when the blood coagulum contracts.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAirgid helps to prevent secondary haemorrhage which is usually caused by infection and can occur up to fourteen days post-surgery. The silver ions of the colloidal silver, which is bound to the gelatin sponge, are activated and as they are highly responsive to the moist environment. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHOW TO USE AIRGID\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOnce the tooth has been extracted and the site has filled with blood, dry Airgid is applied into the wound. Airgid can be cut to size to fit snugly but should not be compressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe sponge will fill with blood and at once works to encourage the formation of blood coagulum and stop bleeding. There is no need for further irrigation as the placement of Airgid stands as treatment of the alveolus. If required, the wound can now be sutured with Airgid in place\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKeep lid tightly closed for longer shelf life.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"iM3","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":43046602932291,"sku":"IM-AIR10","price":28.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":43046602965059,"sku":"IM-AIR20","price":198.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/2468\/6639\/files\/AIR10.jpg?v=1773745459","url":"https:\/\/serona.vet\/products\/im3-airgid-20-pieces","provider":"Serona Animal Health USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
