MICROSAFE Microcyn Wound & Burn Hydrogel

MICROSAFE Microcyn Wound & Burn Hydrogel

Description:

Microcyn Hydrogel is the World’s First Broad Spectrum Anti-Microbial Hydrogel in a spray form – Microcyn devastates pathogens of any kind in seconds, without any toxicity to human tissue.

 

Features:

• Reduces microbial load
• Maintains a moist wound environment
• Supports the wound healing process by encouraging autolytic debridement
• Provides a barrier to protect the wound or burn against contamination
• Absorbs moisture and controls wound exudates
• Relieves pain, inflammation, and pruritus (itching)
• Rapid Kill Time of a single-celled microorganism in seconds of contact – including fungi, spores, viruses and tuberculosis
• Safe as Water: In accordance with U.S. FDA and ISO standards, Microcyn has demonstrated Zero-Cytotoxicity, Zero-Dermal Sensitization, Zero-Dermal irritation

 

More Information:

hydrogels are of great importance in burn first aid. Hydrogel dressings may be an alternative to cooling burn wounds with streaming water, especially in cases of mass casualty events, lack of clean water, hypothermia, or large extent of burns.

Hydrogels that contain mostly water evacuate the heat cumulating in the skin by evaporation. They not only cool the burn wound but also reduce pain and protect the wound area from contamination and further injuries.

Hydrogels are ideally used during the first hours after injury, but as they do not have antimicrobial properties per se, they might not prevent wound infection.

The hydrogel matrix enables the incorporation of active substances into the dressing. The active forms may contain ammonium salts, nanocrystal silver, zinc, growth factor, cytokines, or cells, as well as natural agents, such as honey or herbs.

Active dressings may have an antimicrobial activity or stimulate wound healing. Numerous experiments on animal models proved their safety and efficiency. Hydrogels are a new dressing type that is still in development.

FAQ’s:

1.Is hydrogel good for wounds?

Ans- Hydrogel dressings are in many respects ideal for wound dressings. When applied to dry wounds, as well as sloughing of necrotic wounds, they can make and keep them clean by promoting the removal of infected or necrotic tissue via autolysis. Hydrogel dressings keep the wound warm, moist, and close.

2.Can hydrogel wound dressing be used on burns?

Ans- In burn management, hydrogels are of a great importance as first aid dressings [19,20]. They not only cool the burn wound, but also reduce pain and protect the wound area from contamination and further injuries. These properties make hydrogels a great dressing for transportation and evacuation.

3.What is hydrogel wound dressing used for?

Ans- Hydrogel dressings are in many respects ideal for wound dressings. When applied to dry wounds, as well as sloughing of necrotic wounds, they can make and keep them clean by promoting the removal of infected or necrotic tissue via autolysis. Hydrogel dressings keep the wound warm, moist, and close.

4.What is hydrogel burn to dress?

Ans- Hydrogel burn dressings are hydro-gelatinous sheets, consisting of a non-resorbable matrix of hydrophilic polymers containing >90% water in suspension, and used as an alternative to traditional burns first aid approaches, promoted to cool and dress acute burn wounds.

5.When should you not use hydrogel?

Ans- Contraindications. There are two types of wounds for which a hydrogel dressing is not advised — full-thickness burns and moderate- to high-exuding wounds
