Hydro-active dressing for an ideal wound healing environment
The biotechnology derived cellulose provides unique properties to the wound dressing epicitehydro. It contains a minimum of 95% isotonic saline solution due to its very dense and homogeneous structure.
Indications
Epicite Hydro was developed for the treatment of acute traumatic wounds.
- Abrasions, cuts, punctures, lacerations, bites, crush injuries, lacerations and gunshot wounds
- Surgical wounds
- Thermal wounds (burns, scalds, frostbite, electric shocks)
- Chemical wounds (burns to the skin or mucous membrane caused by acids or alkalis)
- Wounds caused by radiation
- Skin graft donor sites
How QR Skin Works
- Creates a supportive moist environment to the wound with a favorable hydrobalance and water vapor permeability.
- Absorbs excess wound exudates. 1
- Provides an immediate cooling effect after its application. 2
- Adapts easily to all types and shapes of wounds and can be cut to a sizable fit.
- Dries out during the healing process and after successful epithelization can be peeled off easily and nearly pain-free.
- Prevents infections due to the possibility of being soaked in antiseptic solutions.
- Depending on the requirements of the damaged tissue of a patient, the speed of regeneration of the skin tissue can only be influenced by the choice of secondary dressing. Thus, an occlusive secondary dressing promotes dermis regeneration, whereas a non-occlusive secondary dressing offers faster wound closure.
- Cost-effective, by reducing hospital days and scheduling the use of nursing staff.
