The unique cross-linked polymer composition in TheraGauze was invented by a dentist and polymer scientist to treat a debilitating yet common affliction known as xerostomia (dry mouth). Like most breakthrough inventions, benefits extend far beyond this intended area of use into a significant range of new and improved products.
The polymer's singular performance advantage is its ability to first store then release water or other aqueous based materials at controllable rates. In open atmosphere applications, release can be varied from as short as desired to periods ranging to a week or longer. In closed container applications, the polymer can be used to maintain desired moisture or active levels almost indefinitely. The material is free of residual monomer and is odorless and tasteless after processing. The polymer can accomodate a wide temperature range and is inert in contact with biological and other structures.
