VELVERT TM Herbal Antimicrobial Barrier Dressing

Velvert^®: Natural Antimicrobial Barrier Dressing effectively kills 99.9999% bacteria present in the wound.

Have you ever encountered a wound which doesn’t heal fast, where it takes weeks to heal? Have you thought it could be due to infection? Infections can halt the wound healing process as they prevent healthy tissue regeneration.

Different strains of bacteria delay the wound healing process in different ways. Some extend the inflammatory phase and others can interfere with the clotting mechanisms causing the wound to bleed continuously.

Various strains of bacteria have been documented for their notorious activities in delaying the healing process. A 2010 study published in the Journal of Dental Research shows that pseudomonas aeruginosa and staphylococcus are the two most damaging strains of bacteria.

We @ Datt Mediproducts Pvt. Ltd. introduce a novel patented natural anti-microbial barrier dressing “VELVERT^®” which speeds up the healing process by effectively killing the microbes (99.9999%) present in the wound.

VELVERT^® consists of a polymeric sponge loaded with patented natural antimicrobial formulations. All the components of the formulation work in a synergistic manner to achieve the reduction of microbial flora and enhance wound healing. VELVERT^® is found to be effective even against most resistant Superbugs.

NOVEL FEATURES:

1. VELVERT^® is a sponge based natural antimicrobial barrier dressing

b. The product is broad-spectrum in nature and effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and also against various superbugs, some of which are listed below:

Multi-drug resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii: Acinetobacter is most commonly associated with nosocomial infections and its infections lead to death in more than 50% cases. (Tuon et al., 2010b, 2011)
Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL): ESBL are the enzymes that cause resistance to most beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillin, cephalosporins, and the monobactam aztreonam.
New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1): Superbugs with NDM-1 gene are resistant to even the strongest antibiotics.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA): These gram-positive bacteria are responsible for various difficult to treat infections in humans.
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE): Enterococci lives in our intestines & vancomycin is the antibiotic used to treat the infections caused by this bacterium. When enterococci become resistant to the specific antibiotic, it becomes vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Most VRE infections originate in hospitals.
Pseudomonas: People with a weakened immune system and those who have undergone surgery or are hospitalized are more vulnerable to pseudomonas infections. In such cases, the infection can be life-threatening.

2. The formulation is effective against superbugs, as proved in the Time Kill Assay, where the population of microorganisms is 99.9999 % reduced within 30 minutes.

3.. The zone of inhibition shows the antimicrobial activity of VELVERT^®:

4. The dressing kills the microbes and enhances wound healing by increasing cell migration.

5. VELVERT^® is highly porous in nature with a capacity to absorb exudates up to 18-20 times of its own weight and also aids in maintaining a moist wound environment.

6. The polymeric sponge is biocompatible and non-toxic to human tissue.

7. VELVERT^® is soft and flexible, making it highly conformable for deep and irregular wounds.

VELVERT^® reduces the microflora in wounds and actively promotes healing by stimulating stem cells that are present even in deep wounds and enhance the migration of fibroblast and keratinocytes and secretion of growth factors. VELVERT^® is indicated as an antimicrobial barrier dressing for the management of partial- and full-thickness wounds for up to 5 days.

These wounds include:

Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Skin Ulcers
Pressure ulcers
Venous ulcers
Infected Wounds
Skin grafting (donor sites)
To cover grafts/dermal substitutes
Catheterization sites
Partial & full-thickness burn wounds
Traumatic and surgical wounds

VELVERT^® is also found to be effective in controlling central venous and arterial catheter insertion site infections.

Since the components in this product are from herbal/natural resources, VELVERT^® can be changed very safely and eco-friendly and does not produce any adverse effect on the skin. Follow us @Datt Mediproducts to know more about such innovative patented products.

Diabetes significantly increases the risk of developing chronic wounds, particularly foot ulcers. Effective wound care is crucial for preventing complications and promoting healing in diabetic patients. In this blog, you will explore the nature of diabetic wounds, prevention techniques, and management strategies to help healthcare professionals and patients navigate these challenges.

Understanding Diabetic Wounds

Diabetic wounds, especially foot ulcers, are common complications resulting from prolonged high blood sugar levels. These wounds often develop due to neuropathy (nerve damage) and peripheral arterial disease, which impair sensation and blood flow. Consequently, minor injuries can go unnoticed and progress into serious ulcers. Left untreated, these ulcers can lead to severe infections and, in extreme cases, amputations.

1. Prevention Techniques for Diabetic Ulcers:
Preventing diabetic ulcers is essential to reduce the risk of severe complications. Here are some effective prevention strategies.

2. Regular Foot Inspections:
Diabetic patients should inspect their feet (or have someone inspect it) on a daily basis for cuts, blisters, redness, or swelling. Early detection of potential issues can prevent minor problems from becoming serious ulcers.

3. Proper Footwear:
3a. Wearing well-fitting shoes and socks designed for diabetics can prevent pressure points and reduce the risk of injuries.
3b. Avoid wearing tight stockings or socks with elastic tops as they can reduce blood flow.
3c. Avoid extreme hot or cold temperatures.
3d. Do not treat corn or calluses on your own.
3e. Avoiding barefoot walking, even at home, is crucial.

4. Good Hygiene:
Keeping feet clean and dry is essential. Patients should wash their feet daily with mild soap and water, then dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes.

5. Blood Sugar Control:
Maintaining optimal blood sugar levels through diet, exercise, and medication can significantly reduce the risk of neuropathy and poor circulation, which contribute to ulcer formation.

6. Regular Medical Foot Check-Ups:
Routine visits to a healthcare provider or a podiatrist for foot exams can help identify and address problems early.

Management Strategies for Diabetic Patients

When ulcers do occur, effective management is vital to promote healing and prevent complications.

Here are some key strategies:

1. Wound Cleaning and Dressing:
Keeping the ulcer clean and protected is essential. Cleaning the wound with a saline solution and using appropriate dressings, such as those provided by DMP Velvert®, can create an optimal healing environment. It provides a barrier to external contaminants, aids absorption of exudates and accelerates wound healing.

2. Debridement:
Removing dead tissue from the wound (debridement) can accelerate the healing process. This procedure should be performed by a healthcare professional.

3. Pressure Offloading:
Reducing pressure on the affected area is crucial. Patients may need special footwear, casts, or braces to alleviate pressure on the ulcer. Foot or mobility exercises also help in decreasing peak pressure, increasing foot and ankle range of motion and it improves neuropathy symptoms.

4. Infection Control:
Monitoring for signs of infection and using antibiotics when necessary is critical. Proper wound care products, like Velvert®, which offer antimicrobial properties, can help prevent infections.

5. Blood Flow Improvement:
Enhancing blood circulation through medical treatments or lifestyle changes can aid in the healing process. This might include medications, physical therapy, or surgical interventions. Revascularization results in increased tissue perfusion, which can further reduce amputation rates.

Diabetic ulcers are a serious complication of diabetes, but with proper prevention and management strategies, their impact can be significantly reduced. Regular foot inspections, good hygiene, appropriate footwear, and effective blood sugar control are key preventive measures. When ulcers do develop, it is best to catch them in the early stages when they are small, products combined with professional medical care, can promote healing and prevent complications.

Preventing Catheter Related Blood Stream Infections With VELVERT DISC

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are one of the most prevailing adverse events among hospitalized patients. These nosocomial infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among critically ill hospitalized patients, especially in intensive care units (ICUs).

The most serious among these infections develop at the vascular access sites and are called as the Central Venous Catheter-associated Bloodstream Infections (CVC-BSIs) or may also be labeled as the Catheter-Related Blood Stream Infections (CRBSI).
