keragel®

Applications & Uses

Applications

keragel® is designed for full and partial thickness wounds with dry to medium exudate, such as:

• Venous leg ulcers
• Arterial ulcers
• Diabetic ulcers
• Pressure ulcers
• Skin graft donor sites
• First and second degree burns
• Superficial injuries, cuts, abrasions and surgical wounds

 

Uses

Keragel® has demonstrated faster epithelialization rates and more robust skin after healing in numerous clinical studies. In vitro studies have shown that Replicine™ Functional Keratin® increases the rates of proliferation and migration of keratinocyte cells (which play a key role in epithelialization) and that the migrating keratinocytes express increased levels of collagen 4 and collagen 7 which are critical for basal membrane integrity.

This means keragel® can speed healing, improve the healed outcome and reduce cost of care in the following treatment areas:

• Chronic Wound Care
• Scar Management
• Burn Treatment
• Skin Tears

Storage & Handling

Storage

Keragel® should be stored in dry conditions between 32 degrees and 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
