There is such a little story behind every scar. Every time you see a scar, it will remind you of the past, but in the future, you don't have to see it again to remember it, it can only be seen in your memory! Cuts, burns, skin irritations, or injuries common in life are just a few of the skin injuries that trigger healing mechanisms. This process can lead to aesthetic scarring, so taking care of your damaged skin after your injury is essential for the wound to develop properly. In this article, we'll introduce you to the best products for repairing damaged skin, so come with me.
Beginning Healing :
For superficial skin damage, it is recommended that you clean and apply the Longterm Medical hydrocolloid band-aid as soon as possible after the injury. It can provide a good healing environment with a slight acid seal for the wound so that the wound can heal as quickly as possible. Hydrocolloid dressings It is a new type of wound dressing that can provide a moist healing environment for wounds. It belongs to high-tech wound healing materials and has been widely used in clinical practice. Its main components are sodium carboxymethyl cellulose ( Na CMC) synthetic elastomer, medical adhesive, synthetic plasticizer, and surface polyurethane (PU) semipermeable membrane.
The appearance is mostly opaque or translucent dressing sheets, which are absorbent and waterproof, and because they have good self-adhesion, they do not need additional tape to fix. Compared with ordinary band-aids, the advantages of hydrocolloid band-aids are:
1. Waterproof and strong stickiness: The tight fit can allow water droplets to enter seamlessly, and it will not affect the adhesiveness of the Band-Aid.
2. Conducive to wound healing: Compared with traditional band-aids, hydrocolloid band-aids have more advantages, such as absorbing wound exudate, isolating bacterial dust, and mild moisturizing to promote healing.
3. Appearance advantage: The appearance of traditional Band-Aid is not much analyzed here. Everyone knows that traditional Band-Aid needs gauze on both sides to provide adhesiveness and fix it, which is bulky and not beautiful. The hydrocolloid band-aid is like a transparent film, self-adhesive, transparent, and compact. If you don't look closely, you can't tell that you have a layer of a band-aid.
4. Waterproof and antibacterial, reducing the number of dressing changes:
The polyurethane (PU) semi-permeable membrane on the surface of the hydrocolloid dressing can effectively prevent water infiltration, isolate bacterial dust, and avoid wound infection. In addition, the hydrocolloid medical dressing can be used on the wound for a long time. If there are no special symptoms, it can be used continuously for more than 7 days, which can reduce the number of dressing changes, reduce the workload of nursing staff, and save costs.
Secondary treatment :
After the wound has healed, it is recommended that you use the Longterm Medical Silicone dressing tubular. Silicone is by far the first treatment recommended by scar specialists for the prevention and care of scars, and its benefits include:
Effective on a variety of scar types: For surgical scars such as cesarean sections, hypertrophy, keloids, injuries, burns, acne, and pregnancy scars.
