Jump-start the healing of chronic wounds:

Santa Clara, California. -- April 2016 -- WOUNDS journal has recently published an article on Self-Adaptive dressing’s ability to jump-start the healing of chronic wounds. The author, Randall D. Wolcott, MD, of Southwest Regional Wound Care Centre in Lubbock, TX, has a substantial experience with self-adaptive dressing in his practice and has observed first-hand its benefits for patients with stalled, non-healing wounds.
Dr. Wolcott points out that wounds that begin to linger in the inflammation stage of the normal healing progress become chronic due to cumulative effect of various impeding factors, such as presence of infection and necrotic tissue and loss of moisture balance.
For a chronic wound to move on from inflammatory stage to proliferation and then remodeling, these factors must be corrected. Conventional treatments often fail to address these factors all at once, focusing on them separately, which is rarely adequate to the goal of healing.
Meanwhile, self-adaptive dressing has proven time and again that smart polymer technology enables it to detect and correct changes in moisture balance in and around the wound. Exudate is absorbed and retained, while areas in need of hydration receive moisture.
Such real-time self-regulation results in optimal moist healing environment that aids in natural autolytic debridement while infection is being controlled through depriving pathogens of water necessary for their replication.
In essence, self-adaptive dressings boost the body’s ability to overcome the impeding factors and help the wound progress through the healing continuum towards complete closure.
Self-adaptive technology unique to Enluxtra brand products is being used widely at leading national medical centers, such as UCSF, SFGH, Baylor Health and many others. Enluxtra dressings are manufactured to the highest industry standards, FDA-registered, and covered under Medicare Part B.
