Savlon Scar Prevention Gel 50g, First Aid Treatment to Help Soothe Minor Wounds and Burns and Reduce Likelihood of Scarring (Pack of 1, Packaging May Vary)

Product Information

Hybrid hydrogel showed high water content, a three-dimensional microporous network structure, cytocompatibility, and enzymatic biodegradability The proliferative phase involves the production of highly vascular granulation tissue (a form of connective tissue) which fills the wound and provides a scaffold for further healing. If the wound becomes swollen, reddened or painful, or doesn’t start to heal within a few days seek medical advice. Within the first few days no significant difference in angiogenesis score was observed amongst the groups (Fig. ​ (Fig.6a1-a4, 6a1-a4, 6d). However, AM and AM+AV gel treated skin were shown to have appearance of more neo-vascularization (Fig. ​ (Fig.6a5-a20) 6a5-a20) with time. On the 12th day post burning, all treated groups appeared to have induced neo-epithelialization, in contrast to the control (Fig. ​ (Fig.6a5-a8, 6a5-a8, 6b). At day 18, neo-epithelization was clearly visible with incomplete epidermal and dermal layer (Fig. ​ (Fig.6a9-a12, 6a9-a12, 6b).

Results from lad tests of the gel showed that, when coupled with magnetic stimulation, it healed diabetic wounds approximately 240 per cent faster by increasing the cells’ growth rate and more than doubles the amount of collagen produced, which is vital in the healing process. Homeostasis is the initial step of wound healing. It serves as the body’s first response to damage. Blood arteries in the trauma region contract to reduce blood loss instantly. Platelets are then released along with fibrin to create a thrombus or blood clot to seal the damaged blood arteries and prevent blood loss [ 3]. Daily activity causes skin cells to undergo mechanical forces, however, it is recommended that people with diabetic wounds limit rigorous activity as it could kill the cells which are vital for healing. Traditional treatments for these wounds are often unsatisfactory, leading to recurring and persistent health issues and - in a high number of cases – limb amputation. A person can mix turmeric with warm water to make a paste. They can then apply the paste to the wound and cover it with a clean bandage.Wound healing is a natural physiological reaction to tissue injury. However, wound healing is not a simple phenomenon but involves a complex interplay between numerous cell types, cytokines, mediators, and the vascular system. The cascade of initial vasoconstriction of blood vessels and platelet aggregation is designed to stop bleeding. This is followed by an influx of a variety of inflammatory cells, starting with the neutrophil. These inflammatory cells, in turn, release a variety of mediators and cytokines to promote angiogenesis, thrombosis, and reepithelialization. The fibroblasts, in turn, lay down extracellular components which will serve as scaffolding. [1] Slower degradation of the dextran hydrogel with the high content of nondegradable PEGDA and higher cross-linking density When an injury occurs, the initial phase is always an outpouring of lymphatic fluid and blood. It is during this process that adequate hemostasis is achieved. Both the extrinsic and intrinsic coagulation pathways are activated and play a role in stopping blood loss. Aggregation of platelets follows the arterial vasoconstriction to the damaged endothelial lining. A release of adenosine 5´ diphosphate (ADP) results in the clumping of platelets and initiates the process of thrombosis. This vasoconstriction is a short-lived process that is soon followed by vasodilation, which allows the influx of white cells and more thrombocytes. Col makes up the major component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in humans [ 4] while gelatin is a Col derivative [ 12]. Col is a perfectly organized structure as a three-dimensional (3D) scaffold that surrounds the cells. Thus, it has a dominant influence in maintaining the structural and biological integrity of the ECM. Being a natural component of the human body, it has been categorized as one of the major biomaterials widely used in wound healing [ 4]. Nonetheless, the physicochemical properties of Col and gelatin greatly influence the mechanism of skin wound healing. Bioadhesive hydrogels facilitate the adhesion of a hydrogel dressing to a wet wound bed and can provide long-term stability. Due to their flexibility and stretchability, the presence of a hydrogel on the wound provides comfort to the patient. Compared to conventional wound dressings, such as gauze and films, bioadhesive hydrogels are biologically more compatible and can be removed more easily from the wound. The bioadhesive property can be provided to the hydrogel dressings by modification with polyphenol derived moieties, such as catechol, dopamine, gallic acid, or tannic acid [ 51, 52, 58, 79, 80].

A 2019 systematic review states that aloe vera and its compounds could improve wound healing. Overall evidence suggests it might be effective for wound healing of first and second degree burns. The review also indicates that aloe vera could help retain skin moisture and integrity while easing inflammation and preventing ulcers.

Elastoplast Wound Healing Ointment can be used at any stage of the healing process on superficial open wounds and damaged skin. While the magnetic wound-healing gel has shown great promise in improving diabetic wound healing, it could also revolutionise the treatment of other complex wound types. In the pharmaceutical field, Col modified into nanospheres, nanoparticles or microspheres is used as a device for drug delivery in wound healing which may be formulated either through emulsification, desolvation, coacervation, spray drying, milling technique, fluidization, solvent precipitation method, extrusion, or interfacial polymerization [ 107]. In this form, they have been proven to be effective in penetrating into the systemic circulation with the aid of Col. This is made possible as the integration of Col has resulted in a larger wound surface area covered due to its small size, high absorption ability and capacity to form a colloidal solution [ 108]. Apart from this, the crystallite suspension in the gel aggregates emerges as a multiplex chain system in the Col fold configuration. This characteristic eases the formulation of aggregates into colloidal drug delivery carriers [ 109]. Meanwhile, the formation of nanospheres is regulated by a blend of different electronic and electrostatic forces, with sodium sulphate acting as the liquefying reagent to allow for maximum charge to charge linkages between DNA plasmid and Col, whereas for Col nanoparticles the molecular weight of the Col influences the stability of the Col nanoparticles [ 109]. Nonetheless, changes in pH and temperature have proven to have significant impact on the molecular weight of the collagen solution and the noncovalent linkage responsible for the collagen’s molecular structure during the formation of Col nanoparticles [ 110].
