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 Care in Emergency Situations: Quick Response Tips

In moments of crisis, such as accidents or emergencies, being equipped with the knowledge and skills to administer proper wound care can make a critical difference in saving lives and preventing further complications.

Whether you’re a bystander or the injured person themselves, understanding the essential steps of wound care in emergency situations is paramount. 

Here are some quick response tips to guide you through assessing and managing wounds effectively:

Assessment and Safety First:
The foremost priority in any emergency situation is safety. Before rushing to aid the injured person, take a moment to assess the surroundings for potential hazards. Ensure both your safety and that of the injured individual by identifying and eliminating any immediate dangers.

Control Bleeding:
One of the most crucial steps in wound care is controlling bleeding. Apply direct pressure to the wound using a clean cloth or dressing. Elevating the injured area, if feasible, can help reduce blood flow and minimize bleeding. Prompt action in staunching the blood flow can prevent further loss and stabilize the individual’s condition.

Clean the Wound Quickly:
After addressing the bleeding, it’s essential to clean the wound promptly. Rinse the wound gently with clean water to remove any debris or foreign objects. In emergency situations, it’s advisable to avoid using strong antiseptics or solutions unless absolutely necessary, as they can cause further irritation or delay in treatment.

Apply Dressing and Bandage:
Once the wound is cleaned, cover it with a sterile dressing or a clean cloth to protect it from contamination. Secure the dressing in place using a bandage or cloth, ensuring it is snug but not too tight to impede circulation. Proper dressings help create an optimal environment for wound healing while preventing infection.

Seek Medical Assistance:
While initial wound care is essential, it’s crucial to recognize the severity of the injury and seek professional medical assistance promptly. Call emergency services or transport the individual to the nearest medical facility if the wound is severe, deep, or if bleeding persists despite initial measures. Timely medical intervention can prevent complications and facilitate proper wound management.

Prevent Shock and Comfort the Injured:
In addition to physical care, it’s vital to address the emotional and psychological needs of the injured person. Keep them calm and reassured to prevent shock, covering them with a blanket to maintain body warmth and comfort. Offering words of encouragement and support can go a long way in alleviating distress.

Continued Monitoring and Updates:
Even after administering initial first aid, it’s essential to continue monitoring the injured person’s condition until professional help arrives. Stay vigilant for any signs of deterioration or changes in vital signs, providing updates and relevant information to emergency responders upon their arrival. Your ongoing support and assistance can contribute significantly to the individual’s overall well-being and recovery.

Therefore, effective wound care in emergency situations requires a combination of swift action, sound judgment, and compassion. By prioritizing safety, controlling bleeding, cleaning the wound, seeking medical assistance, providing comfort, and monitoring the individual’s condition, you can help ensure the best possible outcome for the injured person. Remember, every second counts in an emergency, and your actions can make a lifesaving difference.

Understanding Parkinson's Disease: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment Options

Parkinson’s disease is a complex and often misunderstood neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by a progressive loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain, leading to a range of motor and non-motor symptoms that can significantly impact daily life.

In this blog, we will explore the symptoms, causes, and treatment options for Parkinson’s disease, as well as the importance of support and advocacy for those living with the condition.

Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease primarily affects movement, causing a variety of motor symptoms that can vary in severity from person to person. The most common symptoms include tremors, stiffness, and bradykinesia (slowness of movement). Individuals with Parkinson’s may also experience freezing gait, a sudden inability to initiate or continue walking, as well as a stooped posture and changes in speech and handwriting.

In addition to motor symptoms, Parkinson’s disease can also cause a range of non-motor symptoms that may be less visible but equally challenging. These can include depression, anxiety, cognitive impairment, sleep disturbances, and autonomic dysfunction. It is important for individuals with Parkinson’s and their caregivers to be aware of these non-motor symptoms and seek appropriate support and management strategies.

Causes and Risk Factors

The exact cause of Parkinson’s disease is not yet fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Advancing age is the most significant risk factor, with the majority of cases diagnosed in people over the age of 60. However, younger individuals can also develop Parkinson’s, particularly if they have a family history of the disease or are exposed to certain environmental toxins such as pesticides and solvents.

Recent research has also identified specific genetic mutations associated with an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease, although these account for only a small percentage of cases. Overall, Parkinson’s is thought to result from a complex interplay of genetic susceptibility and environmental triggers, and further research is needed to fully understand these mechanisms.

Treatment Options and Management Strategies

While there is currently no cure for Parkinson’s disease, there are a variety of treatments available to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Medications such as levodopa, dopamine agonists, and MAO-B inhibitors can help alleviate motor symptoms by increasing dopamine levels in the brain. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy can also be beneficial in addressing specific motor and non-motor symptoms.

In addition to medical interventions, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management techniques can also play a key role in managing Parkinson’s disease. Social support and community resources are also invaluable for individuals living with Parkinson’s and their caregivers, providing emotional support, practical assistance, and opportunities for socialization.

Support and Advocacy

In India, there are several organizations dedicated to supporting individuals with Parkinson’s disease and raising awareness about the condition. One such organization is the Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorder Society (PDMDS), which offers rehabilitation programs, support groups, and educational resources for people living with Parkinson’s and their families. The Indian Parkinson’s Disease Association (IPDA) is another valuable resource, providing information, advocacy, and support services to improve the lives of those affected by Parkinson’s disease.

Parkinson’s disease is a challenging and complex condition that requires a comprehensive approach to management and care. By understanding the symptoms, causes, and treatment options for Parkinson’s, as well as the importance of support and advocacy, we can work together to improve the lives of individuals living with this condition. Through education, awareness, and community involvement, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by Parkinson’s disease.
