Why use hyCURE®?
| Wound Phases |
Wound Needs |
Role of Collagen |
| Injury occurs |
Stop bleeding |
Help blood platelets to form a plug (acts as a natural
hemostat)1-2 |
| Inflammation |
Control drainage , increase blood flow |
Wound exudate absorber, provides proper environment conducive
to healing process |
| Reaction / Interference |
Eliminate factors that interfere with wound healing;
infection and necrotic tissue |
Absorbs fluid and removes bacteria; provides moist healing
environment and wound bed protection |
| Regeneration |
Regenerate granulation tissue and restore the epidermis |
Attracts cells to wound site, provides cellular matrix for
new cell growth, provides for more rapid epithelialization3 |
| Closure |
Increase tissue strength, so wound may withstand stresses of
normal movement |
Forms an occlusive gel barrier to maintain optimal
temperature and moisture balance; prevents contamination; accelerates tissue remodeling
and reduces scarring4 |
