"I have used GelFoam and Surgicel extensively while treating periodontal and oral surgical sites. The HemCon Dental Dressing clearly provides superior competency in treating oral surgery patients, especially those patients taking OAT: Oral Anticoagulant Therapy. The HemCon Dental Dressing definitely is a new generation medical device that allows for the treatment of OAT patients without altering their anticoagulant medications and thereby avoiding the increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke associated with discontinuing anticoagulant medications."
