Savlon Scar Prevention Gel 50g, First Aid Treatment to Help Soothe Minor Wounds and Burns and Reduce Likelihood of Scarring (Pack of 1, Packaging May Vary)

Product Information

Each treatment involves the application of a bandage pre-loaded with a hydrogel containing skin cells for healing and magnetic particles. To maximise therapeutic results, a wireless external magnetic device is used to activate skin cells and accelerate the wound healing process. The ideal duration of magnetic stimulation is about one to two hours. Absorbing capacity, on shelf biomaterial, optimizes moist microenvironment, allows gas exchange, and cost effective.

A moist healing environment has been clinically proven to aid and speed up the natural wound healing process. Elastoplast Wound Healing Ointment creates a breathable film that protects the wound from external influences while preventing the wound from drying out. This is clinically proven to promote faster wound healing and reduce the risk of scarring. The specially designed wound-healing gel is loaded with two types of FDA-approved skin cells – keratinocytes (essential for skin repair) and fibroblast (for formation of connective tissue) – and tiny magnetic particles. When combined with a dynamic magnetic field generated by an external device, the mechanical stimulation of the gel encourages dermal fibroblasts to become more active. One time application, prevents dehydration, ease of usage, provide moist microenvironment, non-cytotoxic nonirritating, exudates break down the Col powder. Skin cells experience mechanical forces continuously from normal daily activities. However, patients with wounds are usually advised not to carry out rigorous activities, such as walking, and this could kill the remaining cells essential for healing. These principles and our technology’s adaptability, as well as its general ease of use for patients, means that it can be applied to improve wound healing in various situations beyond diabetes, including burns and chronic non-diabetic ulcers.”Conventional dressings do not play an active role in healing wounds,” said Assistant Professor Andy Tay, who leads the team comprising researchers from the Department of Biomedical Engineeringat NUS College of Design and Engineeringas well as the NUS Institute for Health Innovation & Technology. “They merely prevent the wound from worsening and patients need to be scheduled for dressing change every two or three days. It is a huge cost to our healthcare system and an inconvenience to patients.”

A person can apply a thin layer of aloe vera gel to the wound area. They can also dress the wound in a bandage soaked in aloe vera gel to help with healing. Prevents dehydration, optimizes moist microenvironment, fills cavity wounds, nontoxic, and nonirritating. Col and gelatin can penetrate into lipid free interferences (membranes) and are surface-active molecules [ 80, 81]. In addition, they are thermally and chemically stable with high tensile strength, permeable to O 2, highly biocompatible, regardless of the source of the derivative, biodegradable, weakly antigenic and hemostatic agents. They have the ability to form high tensile, stabilized fibers through self-aggregation and crosslinking. These fibers can be modified into any form of scaffolding [ 63]. Particularly in skin injury, Col primarily, acts as a chemotactic agent by creating a microenvironment for the initiation of the healing mechanism (inflammatory phase) as it forms a protective barrier for the skin [ 82]. Similarly, gelatin is able to act as a hemostatic agent to initiate the wound healing mechanism and to absorb exudates present at the wound region while creating a suitable microenvironment for the inflammatory phase to take place [ 83]. Chronic wounds influence quality of life and present an economic burden because of prolonged treatment periods. The effects of various factors, such as pressure, ischemia, inflammation, and stress, can cause delayed healing. Different methods, such as debridement, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, ultrasound and electromagnetic therapy, negative pressure wound therapy, and skin grafts, have been used to treat chronic wounds. Each method exhibits its own advantages and disadvantages. Debridement significantly improves wound healing by shortening healing times. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is expensive, and its use is limited to diabetic foot ulcers. Ultrasound and electromagnetic therapy can be used for venous and pressure ulcers and surgical incisions. However, these therapies might superficially damage or burn the endothelial tissues if proper parameters are not used. Negative pressure wound therapy limits patient mobility. In addition, excessive noise during treatment causes patient discomfort. Skin grafts are more expensive than other methods and require sophisticated procedures. All of the aforementioned techniques require clinical specialists with fully equipped health facilities.Re-modeling is the fourth and final phase of wound healing. In this stage, the ECM of the wounded tissue is reconstituted to be similar to healthy tissue. This phase is mostly regulated by differentiated myofibroblasts. Collagen, the main ECM component, is synthesized and accumulates in the granulation tissue to restore the tensile strength and elasticity that is found in normal skin tissue [ 7]. During this stage, many of the newly produced capillaries regress, and the vascular density of the wound is restored [ 3, 8]. Aloe vera contains glucomannan, a substance that helps cellular regeneration and causes the body to produce collagen. This substance is a protein that promotes wound healing. A 2016 review states that laboratory research suggests honey significantly improves the healing rate of wounds in animals. It also says that it reduced scar formation and inhibited bacterial growth in acute wounds and burns.
