Ora-Aid is a two-layered intraoral wound dressing composed of a water-soluble polymer on the adhesive side and a water-insoluble polymer on the protective side. Specific ingredients include ethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, purified water, castor oil, and PET. The adhesive layer activates with moisture to create a gel for attachment, while the protective layer shields the wound from food, bacteria, and other irritants. Ora-Aid wound dressing is intended for the management of oral wounds, injuries and ulcerations of the gingival and oral mucosa, including stomatitis, minor chafing and traumatic ulcers, abrasions caused by braces and ill-fitting dentures, and lesions associated with oral surgery. Instructions for Use – 1. Clean the wound: Irrigate the wound area with a sterile or saline solution. 2. Size and shape: Cut the Ora-Aid to the appropriate size to ensure a good fit. 3. Dry the area: Use a gauze pad to gently dab and remove excess moisture and saliva from the wound site. Excessive moisture can reduce the dressing's adhesion. 4. Apply the dressing: Remove the transparent release paper from the back of the Ora-Aid. 5. Press to adhere: Place the Ora-Aid onto the wound and press gently but firmly for 5 to 10 seconds to help it adhere. One may need to repeat this step depending on the circumstances.
