HemCon(R) Dental Dressing Addresses Dental Emergencies.

"The Dental Box([R])" Puts HemCon in Thousands of Emergency Departments

PORTLAND, Ore. -- HemCon Medical Technologies, Inc. has recently partnered with The Dental Box Company([R]), Inc., the leading supplier of dental trauma kits to hospital Emergency Departments. By making the HemCon Dental Dressing a standard part of their oral trauma kit, The Dental Box brings HemCon dressings to thousands of Emergency Departments across the country.

"This partnership shows the high degree of potential and versatility that HemCon's technology holds," stated HemCon, Inc. President and Chief Executive Officer John W. Morgan. "Once the doctors see how well it works on oral wounds, they will want HemCon dressings for all bleeding injuries."

The HemCon Dental Dressing is an oral wound dressing that works by becoming extremely sticky when in the presence of blood. This adhesive-like action rapidly seals the wound, making it ideal for emergencies involving oral trauma.

"The Dental Box is designed to provide Emergency Department doctors the tools they need to address oral trauma," stated Dr. Kip Benko, President of The Dental Box Company, Inc. "One of the more common dental emergencies is uncontrolled bleeding from recent extraction sites."
