Grassolind ointment dressings are made from a wide-mesh cotton fabric impregnated with an active-ingredient-free, skin-neutral ointment base. They are therefore particularly suitable for wound treatment in dermatology and for patients with sensitive skin or sensitivity to medicines.

Application:
For general wound treatment, in particular to keep wound surfaces and wound edges supple, e.g. for extensive abrasions or lacerations as well as burns or scalds; in plastic and cosmetic surgery, for nail extractions, phimosis operations, etc.; to cover the donor site in skin grafting and to fix split-thickness skin grafts; also ideal in dermatology and for patients with sensitive skin or sensitivity to medicines.

Characteristics:
Branolind keeps wound surfaces and wound edges supple in all phases of wound healing and protects the wound from drying out. Granulation and re-epithelialisation are promoted, and troublesome scar contractures are effectively prevented.

Branolind does not adhere to the wound. Dressing changes are painless. The wound can remain undisturbed.

The wide-mesh gauze tulle allows oxygen to reach the wound and ensures good ventilation. Secretions can drain away freely, preventing moist chambers.

In addition, the gauze tulle can easily be cut into small pieces, e.g. as a secure matrix for split-thickness skin grafts. If required, the ointment dressings can be fixed to healthy skin with sutures.

Any wound-specific therapeutic agents that may be required can be added at any time.
