Miltex Collagen Wound Dressing & Membrane
Absorbable Collagen Wound Dressings for Dental Surgery HeliTape®, HeliCote®, HeliPlug® are soft, white, pliable, nonfriable sponges. Because of the coherent sponge structure, application of the dressings to the wound is easily controlled. The dressing retain their natural structural integrity when wet. Unwanted dispersal from the site is not encountered. Adverse reactions reported with another microfibrillar collagen hemostatic agent that were possibly related to its use were adhesion formation, allergic reaction, foreign body reaction and subgaleal seroma (report of a single case) Since the wound dressings are collagen based products, adverse reactions experienced with another microfibrillar collagen may be related.

HeliMend® absorbable collagen membrane is a white, compressed, non-friable matrix fabricated from collagen derived from bovine deep flexor (Achilles) tendon. Possible complications which can occur with any periodontal surgery includes swelling of the intraoral tissue, thermal sensitivity, gingival recession, excessive gingival bleeding, flap sloughing, resorption or ankylosis of the treated root, some loss of the crestal bone height, infection, pain or complications associated with the use of anesthesia. As with any type of surgical therapy, the patient may experience minor discomfort for a few days. Spontaneous exfoliation of the material may occur in the immediate postoperative period if the HeliMend® membrane is not adequately covered by the mucogingival flap.
