• Optimal moisture
• Temperature on the wound - close to the body's
• Acid рН
• Hypoxide environment
• Favours the preserving of the fagocital protection mechanisms
• Stimulates the autolythic debridement
• Stimulates the fibrinolysis
• Stimulates the angiogenesis
• Facilitates the migration of fibroblasts & epidermal cells
• Stimulates the regeneration processes – granulation, epitelisation
• Reduces the pain & unpleasant sensations
“The moist on the wound, when occlusive environment is created, stimulates
the growth of the fibroblasts, keratinocytes, endothelial cells,
& glycosaminoglycan production in vitro*.”

Granufiex - usage
PLACING THE DRESSING:
|
|
CLEANING THE WOUND
(sterile physiological solution)
|
|
SIZE OF THE BANDAGE, WITH 2-3cm BIGGER
THAN THE SIZE OF THE WOUND
|
|
PRESS WELL THE EDGES
|
|
THE SWELLING OF THE BANDAGE
IS AN INDICATION FOR ITS CHANGE
A) NECROTIC WOUNDS – 3-4 days
B) GRANULATING WOUNDS WITH AVERAGE &
SMALL EXUDATE, EPITELISING WOUNDS – up to 7 days
|
REMOVING THE DRESSING:
|
GRADUALLY UNSTICK THE BANDAGE
|
|
A GEL IS FORMING DURING THE INTERACTION OF THE
HYDROCOLLOIDS WITH THE WOUND'S EXUDATE
