Description
Fluid ointment for topical application containing hyaluronic acid sodium salt from bacterial fermentation, as the main component, and bacterial collagenase obtained from a non-pathogenic strain of Vibrio alginolyticus, as an incorporated medicinal substance.
During the wound bed preparation phase, Bionect Start promotes the healing process and protects newly formed tissue thanks to the moisturizing action of hyaluronic acid. Indeed, the wound healing process occurs more quickly in a moist environment. Bacterial collagenase aids in wound bed preparation.
Indicated for the local treatment of chronic lesions (pressure ulcers, vascular ulcers of the lower limb, diabetic ulcers). In particular, it is indicated to promote an optimal moist environment and wound bed preparation that facilitate the natural healing process.

Apply a layer of about 2 mm of Bionect Start to the wound once a day or as directed by healthcare professionals. Cover the treated area with a sterile dressing to ensure adequate contact.
