Microbial cellulose burn dressings

EpiProtect® is a biosynthetic cellulose dressing indicated for the treatment of superficial burns and the dressing of deep burns.
It replaces the use of animal-derived products for burn care in a cost-effective way.

EpiProtect® microbial cellulose burn dressings are an innovation in wound care that are designed to help manage burn wounds and promote healing. These dressings are made from microbial cellulose, a type of regenerated cellulose derived from bacteria, and are highly effective in treating burn injuries.

Microbial cellulose has a number of properties that make it an ideal material for wound dressings, including high moisture-holding capacity, porosity, and biocompatibility. This makes it ideal for use on burn wounds, which often require a moist environment in order to promote healing. In addition, microbial cellulose is also highly absorbent, which helps to manage the exudate that is produced by burn wounds.

When applied to a burn wound, EpiProtect microbial cellulose burn dressings create a protective barrier that helps to reduce the risk of infection. They also provide a moist environment that promotes healing and helps to prevent further damage to the wound. This is especially important for burn wounds, as they are particularly prone to infection due to their raw and exposed nature.

In addition to their protective and healing properties, EpiProtect microbial cellulose burn dressings are also easy to use and apply. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes, making them suitable for use on a range of different burn wounds. They are also highly flexible and conformable, which makes them easy to use and helps to minimize discomfort for the patient.

Another advantage of EpiProtect microbial cellulose burn dressings is that they are highly cost-effective. When compared to traditional burn dressings, they provide the same or better results at a much lower cost. This makes them an ideal choice for healthcare facilities, as well as for individuals who are looking for a cost-effective and effective solution for treating their burn wounds.

These are the most important characteristic of the product: 

• Adheres and conforms to the wound.
• Easy to apply and easy to cut.
• Near total transparency, easy monitoring
• Moist wound healing
• Allows the body to control the microenvironment.
• Collagen mimicking nanostructure.
• Replaces the need for animal or human tissue.
• Impermeable to bacteria
• Hemostatic
• One application on superficial burns/wounds
• Breathable
• Helps to stop and manage exudate.
• Fully compatible with antibiotics
• Reduced pain.

It can be used for: 

Partial thickness and superficial burns – The product have a nanostructure similar to collagen. If the wound is not infected and not deeper than the depth of hair follicles, the protein secreted by the wound will penetrate the nanostructure of the dressing and anchor it to the wound.

Full thickness burns – Epiprotect® behaves in a different manner for deeper burns. If the wound is deeper than the depth of the hair follicles, the dressing will not adhere and can be used to protect from bacteria from the outside and to keep a moist environment, acting as a temporary barrier.

In conclusion, EpiProtect microbial cellulose burn dressings are an innovative and highly effective solution for managing burn wounds. Their unique properties make them ideal for use in wound care, and they are also highly cost-effective, making them an attractive choice for both healthcare facilities and individuals. Whether you are dealing with a minor burn or a more serious injury, EpiProtect microbial cellulose burn dressings are an excellent choice for helping you manage your wound and promote healing.
