SockIt! Oral Hydrogel Wound Dressing
SockIt! is a hydrogel wound dressing approved by FDA for management of any and all oral wounds. This drug-free, all-natural product 1) alleviates pain without causing numbness, 2) helps protect injured tissues from microbial contamination and 3) optimizes the healing process. This unique product contains no drugs; it consists of 100% natural food (all plant) ingredients. The gel contains beta-linked acetylated mannans, xylitol and a combination of essential oils.
SockIt! is applied directly to extraction sites, mucosal ulcers, lesions and all injuries to the mouth. After professional application in the office, it is sent home with the patient to use as often as needed for safe, continuous pain relief and wound management.
Patients report hours of post-extraction pain relief with reduced (or no) need for prescription narcotics. Oral surgeons and other dental professionals report a significant reduction in post-operative complications. SockIt! is also ideal for implant procedures, immediate dentures and after SRP procedures.
Bill H. McAnalley, PhD, developer of SockIt, explains: “SockIt! is unique in that it is a drug-free, 100% food ingredient product that is capable of providing effective, constant pain relief while at the same time optimizing the healing process. SockIt!’s natural preservatives found in certain foods are potent enough to inhibit the growth of microbial pathogens found in the mouth, and yet the gel is safe when swallowed, and may be used as often as needed with no restrictions.”
Haroon Ismaili, DDS, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Arlington, TX, and his associate have used SockIt! on more than 4000 patients. Dr. Ismaili states, “SockIt! is an important part of my protocol with all implants, extractions and grafts. I apply SockIt! in the office and send it home with the patient with instructions to apply the gel several times each day. Patients stay comfortable and develop far fewer post-operative complications. I wouldn’t think of doing surgery without SockIt!”
