Dermatix Wound Care Mechanism of Action

Dermatix Wound Care is a paraben-free hydrocolloid gel indicated for the care of local, dry or moist wounds. It is a medical device that indirectly promotes wound healing by regulating the microenvironment of the wound.
How Does Dermatix Wound Care Work: Dermatix Wound Care is composed of an acidic carbomer stabilised by carnosine, a basic peptide naturally present in the skin. Covering dry wounds such as grazes and surgical wounds with this carbomer has an occlusive effect: it stops the evaporation of moisture and reduces fluid loss through the epidermis. Carnosine buffers the acidic polymers and also acts as an antioxidant. The carbomer absorbs excess fluid from moist, exudative wounds. Dermatix Wound Care cools and softens contact with plasters and/or bandages and is non-adhesive.
