Dental Floss that Expands when used

convert

My dentist recommended that I use a specific type of dental floss that expands when used (I think it expands when it comes in contact with saliva) and he gave me a box to take home with me. However, it's all gone and I can't find the box anywhere to get the name of it. I tried ringing the dentist, but he's away on holidays and the secretary had no idea what I was talking about, so I said I'd ask here to see if anyone had heard of the floss here and could help me with the name of it.

I don't think it was that one, unless the company has changed the packaging to purple! But it was the same principle.

I had a quick look on google a few days ago and there seem to be quite a few out there, most of which are from US sites, so I wasn't sure if there were many over here as when I tried to get some in the pharmacies the staff hadn't a clue what I was talking about. That's why I thought that if I could name a brand which is sold in Ireland it might help in my quest!
