Orastripdx Test 50 Strips

Product Description

OraStripdx is an innovative diagnostic strip test that offers veterinarians and pet owners a quick and effective tool for evaluating the oral health of dogs and cats. This 50-strip kit is designed to detect the presence of salivary thiols, sulfur-containing compounds that are key indicators of periodontitis, a common oral disease in pets. The presence of thiols is closely related to halitosis and gum toxicity, making OraStripdx a valuable aid for early diagnosis and monitoring of oral health.

The test is extremely simple to use: just apply the diagnostic strip to the animal's saliva and wait 10 seconds to read the results. The ease of use and the speed with which it provides reliable results make OraStripdx an indispensable tool in modern veterinary practices. Furthermore, the availability in packs of 4 or 50 strips offers flexibility and convenience to meet different diagnostic needs.

Therapeutic Indications

OraStripdx is indicated for the detection of thiols in the saliva of dogs and cats, providing an immediate indication of the presence of periodontitis. This condition, if left untreated, can lead to more serious health problems, including tooth loss and potential systemic complications. Using OraStripdx, veterinarians can identify the disease at an early stage, allowing timely and targeted interventions to preserve the animal's oral and general health.

The test is particularly useful for regular screening programs and for monitoring the effectiveness of dental treatments. Its ability to provide quick and clear results makes it a valuable diagnostic tool in any clinical context, helping to improve the quality of veterinary care.

Composition

OraStripdx is composed of thiol-sensitive diagnostic strips, which react in the presence of these sulfur compounds in saliva. Each strip is carefully designed to provide a clear and immediate visual reading, thanks to a colorimetric indicator that changes color based on the concentration of thiols detected. This intuitive design ensures that both veterinarians and pet owners can easily interpret results without the need for special equipment.

Contraindications

No specific contraindications for the use of OraStripdx have been identified. However, it is important to use the product as directed and consult a veterinarian for a thorough evaluation if test results indicate the presence of periodontitis or other oral conditions.

Product Safety

OraStripdx was developed with pet safety as a priority. The strips have been tested to ensure they are safe for use on dogs and cats. Despite the safety of the product, it is always advisable to follow the instructions provided and use the test under the supervision of a qualified professional.

Precautions

When using OraStripdx, it is important to follow the instructions to ensure accurate results. Avoid contact with eyes and skin and do not allow animals to ingest the strips. After use, dispose of the strips safely and hygienically. In case of accidental contact with eyes or skin, rinse thoroughly with water.

Method of Administration

To use OraStripdx, open and remove a diagnostic strip. Expose the strip to the animal's saliva for 10 seconds, then remove it and wait for the indicator to change color. Compare the resulting color to the color scale provided to determine the thiol concentration. The results may help guide further diagnostic investigations or treatments.

Treatment Program

The treatment program will vary based on your pet's individual needs and OraStripdx test results. In general, it is recommended to use the test as part of a regular oral exam to monitor oral health and to evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing dental treatments. The frequency of testing should be determined by your veterinarian based on your pet's specific condition and medical history.
