Skin tears are traumatic wounds caused by mechanical forces such as shear, friction, or blunt impact, leading to the separation of skin layers. The severity of skin tears can vary, and without proper management, they may develop into chronic wounds, presenting a significant challenge for both patients and healthcare providers. These wounds can be painful, impact the patient’s quality of life, and may increase the risk of hospitalization or prolong recovery time.

Flaminal^® is an advanced wound dressing that effectively addresses these challenges by leveraging three key properties:

• Antimicrobial Enzyme System: Flaminal^® demonstrates antimicrobial protection and reducing bacteria released from biofilms.
• Absorbent Alginate: Flaminal^® supports effective exudate management and facilitates autolytic debridement, ensuring thorough wound cleaning and bacterial absorption.
• Debridement Action: Flaminal^® promotes autolytic debridement, aiding in the natural removal of slough and dead tissue.

This comprehensive approach not only enhances wound healing but also reduces the frequency of dressing changes, resulting in less pain during changes and supporting a continuous, uninterrupted healing process for a more comfortable recovery.
