Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hemostatic agents used in dental procedures are highly acidic, causing discomfort and potential staining, and have an unpleasant taste for patients.
Innovation Solution
A non-acidic hemostatic agent with a neutral pH, composed of magnesium compounds, dicarboxylic acids, and polyols, along with sweetening agents and pH balancers, to minimize irritation and staining while maintaining effectiveness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If highly acidic hemostatic agents (pH 1-2) containing alumina compounds are used, then hemostatic effectiveness is improved, but patient comfort deteriorates due to unpleasant taste and tissue irritation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the pH parameter from highly acidic (pH 1-2) to neutral (pH 6.5-7.5) by substituting alumina compounds with magnesium-based compounds. This parameter change maintains hemostatic effectiveness while eliminating the harmful effects of acidity on patient comfort and oral tissues.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the harmful acidity of traditional hemostatic agents into a beneficial neutral pH formulation. By using magnesium compounds that naturally provide neutral pH, the agent maintains hemostatic function while eliminating tissue irritation and unpleasant taste, effectively turning a harmful property into a beneficial one.
2Reliability
If traditional alumina-based hemostatic agents are used, then hemostatic action is achieved, but staining of teeth and gums occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses composite materials by combining magnesium-based compounds with specific organic additives and flavoring agents. This composite formulation achieves hemostatic action while the magnesium base prevents staining, unlike traditional alumina compounds that cause discoloration of teeth and gums.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If magnesium-based compounds are used to create neutral pH hemostatic agent, then patient comfort is improved, but hemostatic effectiveness must be maintained
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a composite material system where magnesium-based compounds provide the neutral pH foundation for patient comfort, while additional components enhance and maintain hemostatic effectiveness. The composite formulation ensures both comfort and clinical efficacy are achieved simultaneously.

Data Source
AI summary
A generally non-acidic hemostatic agent, having a relatively neutral pH comprising a magnesium compound, such as a magnesium chloride, a magnesium sulfate and/or a magnesium acetate based compound. The resultant agent is generally less caustic than previous agents, when using a similar amount of active material.
