Description
PLUS
DermaTrophine
CE medical device, class I, which, thanks to a physical mechanism, provides a barrier action on wounds and promotes healing. Useful for the prevention of bedsores, the absorption of exudates and the repair of wounds that have not damaged the dermis.Zinc oxide
It has astringent, protective and antiseptic properties. It is used topically as a soothing and protective agent and in minor abrasions, burns and superficial uncomplicated ulcers in patients with diabetes. Not recommended when necrosis involves deep tissues.
Silicon dioxide
In its gel form it contributes to the absorption of exudates. It facilitates the drying of macerated areas, reducing friction thanks to its absorbent action. It acts as an anti-shock molecule.
Wheat germ oil (triticum vulgare)
This oil is recommended to compensate for the drying of dry and very dry skin, for its hydrating and nourishing action. Wheat germ oil reinforces the insufficient or even missing hydrolipidic film. It is useful to promote the reduction of damage due to air pollution, reduces the oxidation process of cells and therefore the formation of free radicals. It is a cellular regenerator and is recommended for the skin.
Hyaluronic acid
It is a substance that exists naturally in our body. It is produced by particular cells called fibroblasts. It is found mainly in the dermis and allows us to maintain the right level of hydration, turgidity and plasticity of the tissue, thanks to its particular chemical-physical characteristics that give it a high hydration capacity. Chemically, it is a glycosaminoglycan consisting of a non-branched chain of thousands of disaccharide units formed by residues of glucuronic acid (a derivative of glucose) and N-acetylglucosamine. In vivo, all the carboxylic groups of glucuronic acid are completely ionized, giving the hyaluronic acid molecule high polarity, and consequently high solubility in water. Thanks to this property, hyaluronic acid is able to complex with many water molecules, reaching a high level of hydration. It is an essential molecule for the formation of the collagen matrix, elastic fibers and for maintaining skin hydration; it is, in fact, capable of absorbing and firmly retaining large quantities of water, always ensuring the right level of skin humidity. In addition to its structural and hydrating function, hyaluronic acid plays an important role in preventing damage to cells and tissue from physical stress by acting as an anti-shock molecule and efficient lubricant. It is biocompatible and non-immunogenic.
Corn starch
Powdery substance derived from corn, inert on the skin and wounds, has a notable capacity to absorb exudates. It facilitates the drying of macerated areas, reducing friction thanks to the absorbent action. It acts as an anti-shock molecule and is a good lubricant.
L-proline, L-lysine
Amino acids that compose collagen, the fundamental substance of tissues, are widely represented in the skin. They are fundamental units for the repair of skin tissue.
L-leucine
Branched chain amino acid, interacts with the skin providing energy to the tissues. Facilitates healing.
L-glycine
Nonpolar amino acid constitutes about a third of collagen. Glycine is also present in elastin. Elastin is a fibrous protein present in connective tissue, mainly composed of the amino acids glycine, valine, alanine and proline, a fundamental constituent of elastic fibers, synthesized in fibroblasts in the form of a large molecule capable of organizing itself through cross-links (desmosin structures) in a stable structure that is extremely insoluble. Elastin gives the skin its characteristic elastic response when subjected to mechanical tension.
Vitamin E
Antioxidant, protects the lipids of cell membranes LDL (low density lipoproteins), the main target of free radicals. Topically, vitamin E is absorbed by the skin, has a hydrating, anti-inflammatory and soothing action. Applied to the skin, it reduces the formation of lipoperoxides and slows photoaging, facilitates tissue repair.
Niacin
It takes part in the reactions of cellular respiration, synthesis and demolition of amino acids, fatty acids and cholesterol. It promotes skin trophism.
2-Phenoxyethanol
Antifungal preservative, stabilizer.
How to use
Wash your hands thoroughly. Take a small amount of product from the tube and gently spread it over the wound and its immediate vicinity. Cover with gauze. Repeat until completely healed.
Warnings
Do not use in case of deep wounds, the product does not replace medical intervention. If in doubt, consult a doctor before application. In the event of concomitant use of other products, check interactions. Do not inhale and apply to eyes. Close the jar after use and keep out of reach of children under 6 years.
Conservation
Store in a dry place at room temperature. Do not expose to heat sources.
