is a collagen alginate dressing that boosts wound healing
is a sterile, collagen alginate dressing consisting of 90% native bovine collagen and 10% calcium alginate. The collagen fibers utilize an open-pore 3D Matrix™ Technology with a unique similarity to human dermis. This structure acts as a scaffold that boosts wound healing for wounds that have stalled or have not progressed towards a healing goal.

How to use
1. Prior to treatment with Cutimed® Epiona®, dry and necrotic tissue has to be removed.
2. After carrying out an enzymatic debridement, the wound should be cleaned carefully with a sterile physiological saline or Ringers‘ solution before Cutimed® Epiona® is applied.
3. To achieve an optimal effect, Cutimed® Epiona® should be applied directly to the entire wound bed.
4. In wounds with little or no exudate, Cutimed® Epiona® should be moistened with a saline solution or Ringer‘s solution.
5. The biologically degradable Cutimed® Epiona® will be absorbed naturally by the body.
6. Cutimed® Epiona® dressing must be covered with an appropriate secondary dressing in order to maintain a moist wound environment.
7. After first application, the wound should be treated at intervals of up to 72 hours, depending on the amount of exudate. Cutimed® Epiona® matrix which has not been absorbed by the body can remain in the wound.
