Best Wound Healing Products

The right dressings and cleansers help a wound heal faster, with fewer complications. But wound healing products differ; those differences mean any given product is better suited to treat some types of wounds than others.

These dressings and cleansers are all highly effective. Yet, each is best for facilitating a different type of wound’s healing. 

• To dress weeping / high-exudate wounds, use Mepilex Border Flex Five-Layer Foam Dressing.
  • Each of its layers works differently to safely contain excess fluid while maintaining an optimal wound environment.

• • • The breathable outer layer ensures appropriate evaporation to prevent maceration.

• • • The absorbent Polyurethane foam core draws fluid away from the wound, while the retention layer contains it safely.
• To heal chronic wounds with prolonged inflammation, apply Zetuvit Plus Silicone Bordered Dressing.
  • It’s easy to apply, adapt, and change painlessly—from daily to once per week.

• • Its superabsorbent polymer core captures excess MMPs: “breakdown enzymes” which start to destroy healthy tissue when overproduced in chronic wounds.
• To jumpstart a stalled wound healing process, try PROMOGRAN PRISMA Matrix Ag.
  • It reaches all parts of an ulcer or traumatic wound by transforming into a conforming, bio-friendly gel.

• • Once applied, it facilitates granulation, new tissue formation, and epithelialization throughout the wound, bringing it into the next phase of healing.
• To prevent or halt infections in high-risk wounds, use AQUACEL Ag Advantage Antimicrobial Dressings.
  • Its patented More Than Silver™ technology uses ionic silver’s antimicrobial properties to rapidly target and kill broad-spectrum bacteria in the wound—including antibiotic-resistant MRSA. 

• • Its sodium carboxymethylcellulose hydrofiber™ turns to gel upon contact with exudate, locking away bacteria and contouring to the wound bed’s shape. 

• • • Both actions optimize the wound’s environment for healing. 
• To dress wounds on fragile or sensitive skin, apply 3M ADAPTIC Non-Adhering Dressing.
  • Its non-adhesive, petroleum emulsion layer presses directly to the wound bed, creating an optimal healing environment.
  • It reduces the risk of maceration and pooling by pulling excess fluid into a secondary dressing.
• To cleanse wounds and burns without irritation, use Vashe Wound Solution NZT 5.5 with Skin Friendly pH.
  • Its unique formula effectively disinfects, debrides, and protects the wound bed from a broad range of pathogens.
  • Its highly biocompatible formula doesn’t injure or distress skin or the wound’s tissues.
