NCT ID NCT07179523

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase trial tested a special sponge called ColiSorB to see how well it stops bleeding after a molar (back tooth) is removed. The study included 30 people who needed a wisdom tooth taken out. The sponge is designed to absorb blood and help the body's natural clotting process. Researchers measured how fast bleeding stopped and how comfortable patients felt afterward.
