Kadermin Indications/Uses

KADERMIN has a "medical device" status. It is a powder formulation that creates a protective barrier, an adjuvant for the treatment of wounds, abrasions, minor burns and skin lesions especially in the presence of exuding wounds. The Medical device forms a protective film with a barrier effect creating thus a protected environment from microbial aggressions and fostering the restoration of the normal physiological conditions useful to spontaneous skin regeneration. The barrier function is performed by the association of kaolin with hyaluronic acid as they both have a specific action: kaolin acts as an absorbent material in the case of exudating wounds, while hyaluronic acid's hydrating action acts as a film-forming polymer and fosters tissue hydration. The SCX-Powder complex is made from silicon dioxide functionalized with Silver Ions and Chlorhexidine; it is incorporated into the barrier created by the kaolin and hyaluronic acid. Thanks to its antimicrobial properties, it means that the barrier formed by the medical device is resistant to the microbial agents' attack, thus enhancing the effect of the protective barrier on the lesion and making it effective against external microbial aggression.
