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 Care Myths Debunked

When it comes to wound care, there’s a lot of advice floating around. Some of it is helpful, while other bits are more myth than fact. Let’s clear up some common wound care myths and get to the truth behind them.

Myth 1: Wounds Need Sunlight to Heal

Fact: While sunshine is great for your mood, it’s not beneficial for healing wounds. In fact, direct sunlight can actually cause burns and damage the tissues that are trying to heal. So, to promote proper healing, keep wounds covered and out of direct sunlight.

Myth 2: Wound Itching Means Healing

Fact: A bit of itching around a wound can be a sign that it’s healing, but it’s not always the case. Itching might also indicate an allergic reaction or infection. Monitor any itching along with other symptoms to ensure the healing process is on track.

Myth 3: Hydrogen Peroxide is the Best Cleaner for Wounds

Fact: Using hydrogen peroxide to clean wounds can actually slow down the healing process by damaging healthy cells. Instead, stick to gentle cleansing with mild soap and water to keep things clean without causing additional damage.

Myth 4: Keep Wounds Dry for Faster Healing

Fact: While it’s essential to keep wounds clean, keeping them too dry can actually slow down the healing process. Wounds heal better in a moist environment, so using dressings to maintain the right level of moisture can speed up recovery.

Understanding the Importance of Proper Wound Care

Wound care isn’t just about cleaning and covering a wound; it’s about understanding the underlying processes that help your body repair itself. Following evidence-based practices ensures that wounds heal properly and complications are minimized. Here’s why these practices are crucial:

  • Preventing Infections: Proper wound care minimizes the risk of infection, which can complicate healing and lead to more serious health issues.
  • Promoting Faster Healing: By maintaining a moist environment and protecting the wound, you accelerate the natural healing process.

When to Seek Professional Help

While minor cuts and scrapes can often be treated at home, certain situations warrant professional medical attention:

  • Deep or Large Wounds: Significant injuries that penetrate deep into the skin or are extensive in size require medical assessment.
  • Signs of Infection: Redness, swelling, increased pain, warmth around the wound, or pus are signs of infection that need medical intervention.
  • Delayed Healing: If a wound does not show signs of healing within a reasonable period, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider.

In a nutshell, taking care of wounds isn’t complicated, but it’s important to distinguish fact from fiction. By following evidence-based practices and seeking professional advice when needed, you can ensure your wounds heal properly and without unnecessary complications.

Wound Care for Athletes

Athletes constantly push their bodies to the limit, making them more prone to injuries and wounds. From minor cuts and bruises to more serious sprains and strains, managing these injuries effectively is crucial for maintaining peak performance and ensuring a swift recovery. This blog delves into effective wound care strategies for athletes and highlights how the innovative Velcool® cooling and compression bandage can play a pivotal role in their recovery.

Understanding Common Athletic Injuries

Athletic activities can lead to a variety of injuries, including:

  • Sprains and Strains: Overstretching or tearing of ligaments and muscles.
