Description:
Bionect Gel is a clear, colorless gel. The principal component is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid (0.2%). The sodium hyaluronate (Hyalastine) is derived from a natural fermentation process. Hyaluronic acid is a biological polysaccharide (glycosaminoglycan) and is a major component of the extracellular matric of the connective tissues.
Indications:
Bionect is indicated for the dressing and management of partial to full thickness dermal ulcers (pressure sores, venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers, diabetic ulcers), wounds including cuts, abrasions, donor sites, and post-operative incisions, irritations of the skin, and first and second degree burns, The dressing is intended to cover a wound or burn on a patient's skin, and protect against abrasion, friction and desiccation.
Directions:
The wounds or ulcers should be cleaned and disinfected prior to treatment. In the event of long-standing ulcers, it may be advisable to clean and/or to debride the wound by surgical or enzymatic means, prior to treatment. Apply a thin layer of Bionect without extensive rubbing onto the wound surface, two or three times per day. Cover the lesion area with a sterile gauze pad and, if necessary, with an elastic or compressive bandage.
