Kaltostat, a haemostatic wound dressing made from non-woven sodium calcium alginate fibres is becoming more frequently and widely used by practitioners. We report a florid foreign body giant cell reaction elicited by Kaltostat which had been used to obtain haemostasis in an apicectomy cavity on an upper lateral incisor approximately 7 months earlier. The case demonstrates that alginate fibres left in situ may elicit a long-lasting and symptomatic adverse foreign body reaction. This material should be reserved for problematic haemorrhage and be removed from the tooth socket soon after haemostasis.
卡尔托斯塔（Kaltostat）是一种由非织造钠钙藻酸盐纤维制成的止血伤口敷料，越来越多地被从业者频繁且广泛地使用。我们报告了一例由卡尔托斯塔引发的严重异物巨细胞反应，该敷料约在7个月前被用于上颌侧切牙根尖切除术腔的止血。该病例表明，留在原位的藻酸盐纤维可能引发持久且有症状的不良异物反应。这种材料应仅用于处理有问题的出血情况，并在止血后尽快从牙槽窝中取出。
