EPIPROTECT®
INDICATIONS

EPIPROTECT® · Indication

Hard-to-heal wounds

Chronic wounds, such as diabetic, venous and arterial ulcers, where the wound has stalled and the cost of care keeps rising.

The benefit

EPIPROTECT® can be left on the wound during the entire healing process, minimizing the need for dressing changes and lowering the cost of care. The reported result in daily practice: less pain, less exudate, faster healing.

The mechanism

The billions of fibers within the eiratex® network form a protective barrier that prevents bacteria from penetrating the wound, ensuring a clean and safe healing environment. eiratex also binds small molecules that can interfere with the healing process, including: Endotoxins, Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs), Pro-Inflammatory Mediators.

While keeping bacteria out, EPIPROTECT® helps maintain optimal healing conditions by balancing fluid and gas levels. The membrane is gas-permeable and buffers moisture, ensuring ideal conditions for moist wound healing while promoting the smooth development of new skin.
