Curiosin Gel
What is Curiosin intended for?
INTENDED USE:
For over-the-counter use:
superficial wounds such as minor trauma wounds (abrasions, lacerations, cuts), minor burns
mild-to-moderate form of acne vulgaris
Under the supervision of a healthcare professional:
chronic wounds such as leg ulcers of different origin and decubitus
CURIOSIN is a wound care preparation designed for quality healing.
CURIOSIN is capable of promoting physiological wound healing and preventing wound infection.
CURIOSIN is composed principally of highly purified zinc hyaluronan, a proprietary complex of the essential skin constituent hyaluronan biomolecule and zinc.
CURIOSIN is a clear, non-irritant, highly biocompatible product family supplied as Gel and Fluid for the management of various types of wounds.
hyaluronan is a term encompassing the names used for the different forms the molecule can take, such as: hyaluronic acid, hyaluronate, sodium hyaluronate, hyaluronic acid sodium salt, HA, NaHA etc.
Zinc hyaluronan - the innovative spirit in wound care
Zinc hyaluronan is a proprietary complex of the essential skin constituent hyaluronan* biomolecule and zinc. Hyaluronan represents a new generation in modern wound care, while zinc has been traditionally used by several generations for different skin conditions.
However, unlike a simple hyaluronan combination, zinc hyaluronan as a complex not only maintains all the specific features of its constituents, but shows additional benefits of enhanced wound healing, antimicrobial and enhanced anti-inflammatory properties, as well.
Wound healing: hyaluronan is responsible for maintaining tissue hydration, the elasticity and plasticity of the skin and the regeneration after trauma. The hydrated hyaluronan network acts as a water-delivery system and keeps the damaged skin moist, which is in fact one of the major principles of modern wound management. Zinc hyaluronan has a stronger water-binding property compared to hyaluronan.
Different studies demonstrate an enhanced healing performance of zinc hyaluronan compared to hyaluronan or zinc alone.
In addition, zinc hyaluronan may reduce scar formation and restore healthy skin conditions via helping the damaged skin to heal from the depth of the wound to the skin surface.
Antimicrobial: due to the molecular porosity of the zinc hyaluronan layer it acts as an antimicrobial filter against bacteria of airborne and contact origin thus preventing the healing wound from infection.
Anti-inflammatory: healing might be hindered by reactive oxygen species and free radicals. Via scavenging these tissue damaging factors the zinc hyaluronan matrix protects the cells, resulting in reduced tissue inflammation and less wound pain.
Types of wounds
Meeting the requirements of modern wound management, CURIOSIN (zinc hyaluronan) is suitable for the management of various types of wounds:
superficial wounds such as minor traumatic wounds (abrasions, lacerations, cuts), minor burns
chronic wounds such as leg ulcers of different origin and decubitus
represents a new approach as a skin-friendly support of problem skin (acne).
