BIONECT START OINTMENT 30G

Bionect Start

CE medical device 0373.
Fluid ointment for topical application containing sodium hyaluronate derived from bacterial fermentation, as the main component, and bacterial collagenase obtained from Vibrio alginolyticus as the medicinal substance. During the wound bed preparation phase, Bionect Start promotes the healing process and protects the newly formed tissue thanks to the moisturizing action of hyaluronic acid. In fact, the scar formation process occurs more quickly in a moist environment. Bacterial collagenase facilitates the wound bed preparation.
Indicated for the local treatment of chronic ulcers with necrotic or fibrinous tissue (such as pressure sores, vascular leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers), which it helps to debride. It is particularly indicated to provide an optimal moist environment and wound bed preparation that facilitate the natural healing process.

Components
Main component: sodium hyaluronate 0.2%. Other components: collagenase (not less than 2.0 Nkat/g of ointment¹), light liquid paraffin, white petroleum.
1 - The katal (symbol kat) is the unit of catalytic activity of an enzyme included in the International System of Units (SI).
