As the borate glass dissolves, it removes ions at the site of the wound. After repeated use, any MIRRAGEN® material left on the wound site is absorbed by the surrounding tissue.
Healing with Mirragen
A Unique Biomaterial For Wound Healing
The MIRRAGEN® product technology is based on an absorbable and biocompatible active borate, specifically designed for wound healing. The material slowly dissolves when exposed to the body fluids.
The fibrous structure of the MIRRAGEN® matrix was specifically designed to absorb fluid from the wound. The distance between the fibers inside the matrix creates a network of pores that allows to hold approximately 0.5 ml of liquid per square meter. The properties of liquid absorption of the product make it possible to use it on strongly exuding wounds with repeated application every 3-7 days or as needed
