Neurotrofic foot ulcer
Trophic ulcers are considered the main problem with varicose veins, diabetes and long-term non-healing wounds. Mirragen can significantly shorten the healing and regeneration of tissues.
The special structure of Mirragen promotes the growth of soft tissues in the space of the wound channel. This simulates a fibrin clot to stimulate the successive healing of vascular ulcers. The tool "captures" platelets and other components that are involved in wound healing. Borate fibers are mixed with wound exudate, in the process ions are released, which stimulate the following processes:
In addition to helping with chronic ulcers and wounds, Mirragen dressing is also used to heal skin and soft tissue injuries and ulcers caused by the following:
It is necessary to apply Mirragen in compliance with all the rules and requirements of asepsis and antiseptics in sterile conditions, that is, in a hospital. For effective action, the primary surgical treatment of the wound channel is preliminarily carried out, that is, the necrotic tissue is truncated, excess moisture and purulent contents are removed.
Mirragen is available as a matrix. To apply to the wound, it is necessary to cut a piece of the required size and completely close the wound channel with it. If it is necessary to treat a large wound, you can additionally use sterile gauze napkins.
During the integration of Mirragen into the open tissue of the wound, some visual changes are observed:
Sometimes the matrix is displaced during the granulation process, this can reduce the effectiveness of the healing process, so it is very important to apply the dressing correctly from the beginning.
Mirragen dressing is applied daily for 3-4 days. Further, within two weeks, the regularity decreases to once every three days. Subsequently, the condition of the dressing is checked at intervals of 3-5 days and, if necessary, it is replaced.
Some redness may occur during the healing process with Mirragen Matrix. This is normal. Sometimes discoloration of the matrix occurs on contact with the wound surface. Dry skin edges can look too dry and chapped.
Since the structure of the agent completely dissolves in the content of the wound channel, there is practically nothing to remove. If necessary, after the completion of the treatment course, the wound is washed, all remnants of Mirragen parts or fibers and gauze dressing will be washed off.
