ChitoCare® Medical Devices: Wound Healing Gel

ChitoCare® Medical Wound Healing Gel, ChitoCare® Medical Healing Spray and ChitoCare® Medical Scar Healing Gel are medical devices 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.

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 Wound Healing Gel is a topical gel for acute and chronic wounds and other skin conditions.

It can also effectively reduce acute and chronic wounds. It can be applied to any skin area or wound, forming a thin, transparent and breathable film. The chitosan film formed does not need to be removed as it will slowly be degraded during natural skin renewal. Essential first aid. May be used as a preventive treatment to protect the skin.

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 Wound Healing Gel (Ref. no. 84300) is a CE marked medical device in accordance with the European Directive 93/42/EEC on Medical Devices.
