Chitosana®
Sterile healing hydrogel for wounds and burns
Indications:
Chitosana®sterile healing hydrogel is intended to heal and reduce the pain of wounds with dermic infringement:
- Thermal, electric, chemical (hydrochloric acid) burns,
- Traumatic wounds (cuts, bruises and lacerations) provoked by a cutting object (Knives, blades, scissors,),
- Abrasive wounds (fall on shock points, the knees, shins, elbows, etc.),
- Wounds by frictions (blisters on extremities),
- Wounds of iatrogenic origin (surgical operations).

General description |
Chitosana® is a sterilized by steam healing product applied on all the superficial and deep wounds in a topical application mode. It is a succinate of Chitosan under topical hydrogel shape, Chitosan stemming from mushrooms. It is a hydrogel easy to use and easy to apply on even large zones, as the gel has a sufficiently low viscosity to be spread easily over extended wound areas and burns. The pH value of the gel, similar to that of the skin, leads to an immediate, effective, complete and long-lasting relief of the pain caused by the trauma. Chitosana® is supplied in aluminum tubes of: è 5g -“Use up to 5 days after first opening” The tube is inserted into a carton, accompanied with its instructions for use. The shelf life is 24 months from the date of sterilization. |
The medical device Chitosana® Sterile healing hydrogel is suitable for any type of patient: Profane, man or woman, who can hold an object, who is able to read and understand instructions.
Attention: Chitosana®is not recommended on pregnant women and infants less than 3 years, as well as persons with a known allergy to one of the components.
Chitosana®sterile healing hydrogel is intended to heal and reduce the pain of wounds with dermic infringement:
- Thermal, electric, chemical (hydrochloric acid) burns,
- Traumatic wounds (cuts, bruises,…) provoked by a cutting object,
- Abrasive wounds (fall on shock points, the knees, shins, elbows, etc.),
- Wounds by frictions (blisters on extremities),
- Wounds of iatrogenic origin (surgical operations).
Contra-Indications:
- High exuding wounds, as the wounds may become too wet and cause maceration to the surrounded skin,
- Third degree (full thickness) burns.
Instructions for use:
– Wash hands before any application,
– Clean the wound or the surface to be coated,
– Apply directly to the wound in a thick layer,
– The first day several applications can be made (then, an application a day until healing complete),
– Hydrogel will be removed by simple washing.
Mode of action :
Chitosana®hydrogel has favorable characteristics to promote a rapid dermal regeneration as well as an accelerated healing; it is effective on the erythema, swelling, and sensitivity as evidenced in the clinical studies according to the EN14155-1 and -2.
Chitosana®hydrogel, chitosan-based, forms a permeable film to air, it promotes cell regeneration by its GAG-analogue activity, while protecting tissues of microbial attacks, thanks to the amino groups, charged positively, which will join the negatively charged bacterial cell walls and then accelerate the death of bacteria.
Recognized bio stimulation activity of chitosan ensures with Chitosana® hydrogel a more rapid reconstitution of fabrics with easing of pain whatever the origin of the lesion.
Thus, Chitosana®improves the condition of the skin barrier and decreases the values of water loss by a correct regulation of water exchange
