BioFilm

Thin film technology is ideal for the dental market since it can offer all the benefits described below and, in addition, the film former can be manipulated so that it dissolves slowly and releases the active over a longer period of time directly onto the teeth and gums.

Experience

BioFilm produces a range of oral care products designed to improve oral health including a range of products which clinical trials have shown to provide effective, long lasting breath freshening.  In addition to the items below, further products under development include those for mouth ulcers, gum disease and plaque reduction.

• A range of mint flavoured, dual action breath fresheners containing an active which keeps the breath fresh for up to 3 hours and an antibacterial agent which is CPC (cetylpyridinium chloride)
• A range of flavoured products which contain fruit acid extracts which promote saliva flow and are excellent for people who suffer dry mouth conditions.  Suitable for the elderly and people who suffer from a dry mouth as a side effect from their medication.

Benefits of the film delivery system:

• Convenience: light weight, easy to take ‘on the go’ without water
• Discreet and portable
• Ideal for young and elderly who find swallowing pills difficult and who dislike taking other solid dosage forms such as tablets or capsules
• Flavours can be added to disguise the bitter taste of active ingredients
