Hemoban Gel

Hemoban Gel is intended for tissue management prior to impression making and before final restoration cementation. It controls bleeding and gingival oozing in restorative dentistry. There are various clinical situations dentists can use Hemoban Gel to achieve a dry field with good visibility, i.e. after preparations for indirect restorations (both conventional and digital), deep scaling, direct restorations and also before final cementation with re-occurring bleeding after provisional removal.

Even though it is more viscous than hemostatic liquids, Hemoban Gel can soak cords. We are recommending applying Hemoban Gel, than packing the dry cord through the gel. Hemoban Gel will both coat the cord for easier packing and soak it to facilitate hemostasis.

Yes, we recommend a full removal of Hemoban Gel with water/air spray before taking the impression. Re-occurring bleeding should be controlled repeating Hemoban Gel application, until the sulcus stays dry.

Retraction pastes are usually intended for both retracting soft tissue and providing hemostasis through active ingredients like Aluminum Chloride. Hemoban Gel provides reliable hemostasis; in conjunction with retraction cords it does replace retraction pastes. However, if the clinician still wants to use a retraction paste together with Hemoban Gel, that is not a problem.
