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.

Wound Might Need a Doctor’s Attention

Wounds are a common part of life, whether from minor cuts, surgical procedures, or injuries. While most heal on their own with proper care, some wounds can develop complications that require medical attention.

Ignoring early warning signs can lead to infections or even severe health risks. Knowing when to seek medical help can make all the difference in ensuring a safe and speedy recovery.

Here are five key signs that indicate your wound might need professional care:

1. Increased Redness Around the Wound

A slight redness around a wound is normal, especially in the first few days. However, if you notice the redness spreading outward or deepening in color, it could be a sign of infection. This may indicate your immune system is fighting off bacteria, and medical treatment might be necessary.

When to worry: If the redness continues to expand or is accompanied by pain, swelling, or warmth, it’s time to consult a doctor.

2. Swelling or Warmth Around the Wound

Swelling is a natural response to injury; involving increased blood flow, the body’s immune response acting as a buffer to protect the injured area. But swelling should be continually decreasing, excessive swelling or warmth around the wound could mean trouble. These signs often indicate that your body is responding to an infection.

What to look for: If the wound becomes significantly puffy, feels hot to the touch, or the swelling doesn’t subside within a few days, it’s best to seek medical advice.

3. Pus or Unusual Discharge

One of the clearest signs of infection is pus — a thick, yellow, green, or foul-smelling fluid coming from the wound. A properly healing wound should not have significant discharge beyond a small amount of clear fluid.

Act quickly if: You notice pus, a bad odor, or an increase in drainage, as these are strong indicators of bacterial infection requiring immediate attention.

4. Increased Pain or Tenderness

Pain is expected after an injury, but it should gradually decrease over time. If your wound becomes more painful instead of improving, it may indicate an underlying issue like infection or delayed healing.

Red flag: If touching the wound becomes increasingly painful, or if discomfort spreads beyond the injury site, a doctor should assess the situation.

5. Fever or Chills

While mild fever (below 100°F/ 38°C) can be a part of the healing process, high fever or persistent fever may indicate a more serious issue. High grade fever can be the body trying to fight harmful bacteria, viruses or fungi that have invaded the wound. This requires immediate care as it can get worse very easily.

Seek urgent care if: You experience a fever over 100.4°F (38°C) or chills along with any of the other symptoms listed above.

Importance of Clean and Safe Wound Dressings

Using the right wound care products can significantly reduce the risk of infection and promote faster healing. Proper wound dressings help create a protective barrier, control moisture levels, and keep the wound environment clean.

  • Antimicrobial dressings help prevent bacterial growth and maintain a sterile healing environment.
  • Waterproof dressings protect against external contaminants while ensuring proper moisture balance.
  • Gentle adhesive tapes secure dressings in place without causing skin irritation, making them suitable for daily use.

When to Seek Medical Help

If you notice any of the above warning signs, don’t wait. Seeking medical attention early can prevent more serious complications and help ensure a smooth recovery.

Call your doctor if:

  • Your wound isn’t healing or worsens after a few days.
  • You notice spreading redness, pus, increased pain, or fever.
  • You have underlying health conditions (like diabetes) that may slow healing.

Your body is designed to heal, but sometimes wounds need extra care. By paying attention to these warning signs and using the right wound care products, you can prevent infections and support faster healing.

Taking action early can mean the difference between a quick recovery and serious complications. Stay safe, stay informed, and give your wound the care it deserves!

CHOOSING THE RIGHT DRESSING

Chronic wounds are wounds that fail to heal within the expected time frame, typically lasting more than four weeks. They can arise due to underlying conditions such as diabetes, prolonged pressure, or venous insufficiency. Common types include diabetic ulcers, bed sores, and venous leg ulcers.

Managing chronic wounds presents significant challenges, including a high risk of infection, slow healing, and patient discomfort. The right dressing plays a crucial role in creating an optimal healing environment, reducing complications, and improving patient outcomes.

Types of Chronic Wounds and Their Dressing Needs

Diabetic Ulcers

  • A Diabetic foot ulcer is a debilitating complication of diabetes mellitus. It refers  to an open sore or wound, commonly developing on the feet of people with diabetes.
  • Require moisture balance, infection control, and non-adhesive properties to protect fragile skin.

Bed Sores

  • Bed sores are ulcers which usually develop gradually on the skin and the tissue underneath. Occurring mostly in bed ridden patients, bed sores arise on the skin covering bony areas of the body such as hips, back, tailbone, etc.
  • Demand dressings that redistribute pressure and effectively manage exudate to prevent further skin breakdown.

Venous Leg Ulcers

  • Venous leg ulcers are chronic wounds affecting mostly older adults. They primarily result from prolonged venous insufficiency, which leads to tissue breakdown in lower extremities.
  • Benefit from a combination of compression therapy and absorbent dressings to address venous insufficiency and excessive fluid.

Infected Chronic Wounds

  • Chronic infected wounds are those wounds that do not even start to heal after 4 to 12 weeks despite treatment. They develop due to poor blood circulation, weak immune system or co-morbid conditions such as diabetes.
  • Require antimicrobial dressings to manage bacterial load and prevent further complications.

Key Dressing Options:

  • Suitable for infected or high-risk wounds, particularly bed sores.

Velsap™

  • Designed for moderate to heavily exuding wounds.
  • Provides effective fluid management, reducing the need for frequent dressing changes.

How to Choose the Right Dressing?

Selecting the right dressing requires a comprehensive assessment of several factors:

  • Wound Type: Identify whether the wound is a diabetic ulcer, pressure sore, or venous ulcer.
  • Exudate Levels: Choose absorbent dressings for heavily exuding wounds and moisture-retaining options for dry wounds.
  • Infection Status: Use antimicrobial dressings for infected or high-risk wounds.
  • Patient-Specific Considerations: Factors such as mobility, skin sensitivity, and underlying health conditions must be considered.
Healthcare professionals play a crucial role in guiding dressing selection based on individual wound characteristics and patient needs.

Additional Tips for Chronic Wound Care Management

  • Proper Cleaning & Debridement: Keeping the wound clean and removing dead tissue enhances healing.
  • Regular Monitoring & Dressing Changes: Assessing the wound regularly and changing dressings at the right intervals prevent complications and ensure steady healing.

Chronic wounds require tailored solutions to support healing and prevent complications. Choosing the right dressing—ensures optimal wound care and faster recovery.
