ATRIDOX® Package Contents

  • 1 syringe with liquid polymer
  • 1 syringe with doxycycline hyclate powder
  • 1 sterile blunt cannula

Important

  • When removing caps, hold syringes with the nozzles upright to avoid spilling before coupling.

Preparation: Step 1

  • Twist and lock syringe A containing liquid polymer with syringe B containing doxycycline powder.
  • Inject contents of syringe A into syringe B and then push contents back into syringe A. Mix syringes back and forth 100 times (about 1 ½ minutes). The contents must be in syringe A (indicated by red stripe) when finished.


Preparation: Step 2

  • Hold the coupled syringes vertically with syringe A at bottom. Pull back on syringe A plunger and allow contents to flow down the barrel for several seconds.

  • Uncouple the two syringes and attach blunt cannula to syringe A.

Administration: Step 1

  • Attach blunt cannula as directed.
  • After attaching blunt cannula as directed, bend cannula to resemble a periodontal probe.

 

Administration: Step 2

  • Keep cannula tip near pocket base.
  • Fill the majority of the pocket with ATRIDOX® while withdrawing the cannula tip from the pocket.
  • Withdraw cannula tip from pocket.
  • To separate ATRIDOX® from cannula, turn tip toward tooth, press tip against tooth surface and pinch string of formulation against tooth to break off.
  • For a clean separation of the cannula from ATRIDOX® in the pocket, consider using a moistened dental hand instrument to ensure proper placement.




Administration: Step 3

  • If necessary, add more ATRIDOX® and pack into pocket until pocket is full.
  • You are now ready to move to the next pocket.
  • It is not necessary to remove ATRIDOX® from the pocket. It will absorb completely.
