Cutimed Epiona is a sterile, collagen alginate dressing consisting of 90% native bovine collagen and 10% calcium alginate. The collagen fibers utilize an open-pore 3D Matrix Technology with a unique similarity to human dermis. This structure acts as a scaffold that boosts wound healing for wounds that have stalled or have not progressed towards a healing goal.
Indications: Cutimed Epiona is indicated for the management of full and partial thickness wounds which are free of necrotic tissue, e.g.: diabetic ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure injuries, ulcers caused by mixed vascular etiologies, trauma wounds, and surgical wounds.
Wear time: The biologically degradable Cutimed Epiona will be absorbed naturally by the body. After first application, the wound should be treated at intervals of up to 72 hours, depending on the amount of exudate. Cutimed Epiona matrix which has not been absorbed by the body can remain in the wound.
Features:
- Stimulates tissue growth: Boosts wound healing in chronic and stagnating wounds and reduces wound size
- Promotes wound healing: Accelerates wound healing, contributing to early patient mobilization and reduced treatment time
- Easy application: Can be cut to size, rolled, or folded into the wound bed
- Helps to stop bleeding: Contains native collagen and calcium alginate that supports haemostasias
