ChitoCare® Medical Devices: Healing Spray

Primex is the producer of three medical devices, the ChitoCare® Medical Wound Healing Gel, ChitoCare® Medical Healing Spray and ChitoCare® Medical Scar Healing Gel. These devices are designed to assist wound and/or scar healing and protect the skin. They are just one example of the many applications of chitosan within the medical, biomedical and pharmaceutical industry.

ChitoCare® Medical devices contain ChitoClear® chitosan, a safe, bioactive polymer derived from chitin, harvested from the pristine Arctic waters around Iceland and manufactured by Primex. Chitosan consists of amino sugars which occur naturally in the human body, and therefore has excellent biocompatibility.

 

ChitoCare® Medical Healing Spray

ChitoCare® Medical devices may be used as a preventive treatment to protect the skin and can be used by the whole population, including the elderly and children. They are the perfect addition to any First Aid Kit and have been well received by customers, many of whom have been using these practical and efficient medical devices for years already.

ChitoCare® Medical Healing Spray is a topical spray for the treatment of irritated and damaged skin. It soothes the symptoms associated with these conditions, such as itching and redness, protects the skin and promotes its natural repair process. May be used on intact or breached skin, and as a preventive treatment to protect the skin. The chitosan film does not need to be removed, as it will slowly be degraded during natural skin renewal.

ChitoCare® Medical Healing Spray adheres as a protective film to intact or breached skin and:
• protects the skin from external factors
• heals minor wounds and burns
• reduces redness, itching and pain
• relieves minor burns and sunburn
• promotes natural skin healing

ChitoCare® Medical Healing Spray proves ideal for:

• minor wounds, burns and sunburns
• pimples and acne symptoms
• skin rash, eczema and dry skin
• bug bites and skin inflammation

 

Why chitosan?

Chitosan is a functional polysaccharide providing support for wound healing. Under mild acidic conditions it becomes positively charged, rendering it bioadhesive to adhere as a protective film to intact or breached skin and to confer many other important biological properties.

Chitosan has a very good biological barrier function, as on damaged skin it creates a thin, breathable film, which with mechanical protection prevents skin (or wound) dehydration and contamination, protecting it from the external environment, while allowing oxygen to reach the wound for optimal healing.

Chitosan is a true wonder of the ocean, as it protects the skin, reduces redness and irritation with its cooling effect, maintains moisture and promotes the skin's natural repair process.

ChitoCare® Medical Healing Spray (Ref. no. 84500) is a CE marked medical device in accordance with the European Directive 93/42/EEC on Medical Devices.
