Advanced Wound Care
The combination of microspheres with an antimicrobial agent in the hydrogel provides sustained antimicrobial activity for the entire duration of contact with the wound.
How chronic wounds arise ?
Chronic wounds & underlying causes
Chronic Wounds & Biofilm
Biofilm is a microbial colony encased in a polymeric substances which resides within the wound tissue. This is part of what makes it so difficult to get rid of. It is present in over 90% over chronic wounds.
Biofilm is the primary cause of chronic wounds due to its role in permanent inflammation, delayed tissue formation leading to infections. It could also be opposite! That the infection leads to a delay in the tissue formation.
Chronic Wound Treatment
- The number one treatment for infected chronic wounds is debridement (e.g. enzymatic debridement)
- Fluid management, infection control, and physical protection.
- Optimal antimicrobial power and better exudate management.
- The success of wound treatment depends on the hygienic state of the wound, the wound bed preparation, the choice of wound dressing, and the patient’s condition.
What are the benefits of moist wound healing?
- Moist wound healing takes less time.
- Decreases incidence of wound infection.
- Preserves growth factors for the new cells in wound fluid.
- Stimulates collagen synthesis.
- Reduces pain & scarring.
SmartGel is a plant based gel for use in advanced wound care.
Biodegradable hydrogel intended for the treatment of open wounds by donating and maintaining a moist healing environment promoting healing through a moist environment that facilitates the body’s endogenous enzymes.
SmartGel is indicated for dry to moderately exuding partial – and full – thickness wounds:
- Granulating wounds.
- First- and second-degree burns.
- Diabetic ulcers.
- Pressure ulcers.
- Large surface area wounds and surgical incisions.
