Release form, size

Wound healers with Peruvian balsam are sold today in two forms.

This is:

• bandages;
• plasters.

Both options differ from each other in appearance, and in the method of use, and in their composition (or rather, the amount of active substance in it).

The dressings are pieces of sterile gauze that are impregnated with an ointment composition and Peruvian balsam. This form is especially convenient to use if you need to treat a large area of ​​skin.

There is no need to prepare the dressing in any way in advance. Its base is pre-impregnated by the manufacturer with a special medicinal substance. It strictly adheres to the recommended dosage of all medicinal ingredients. It is in the dressing that there is a high concentration of the active substance. Therefore, it is believed that it is more effective for treatment and acts faster.

Bandages "Branolid-N" are now on sale in 3 sizes at once:

• 7.5 by 10 cm;
• 10 by 10 cm;
• 10 by 20 cm.

The second and third large options are especially popular among buyers. If necessary, you can take several dressings of the maximum width at once and place them next to each other in the problem area. Each dressing has an adhesive layer, but it clings painlessly to the skin. The bandage is securely held, but can be easily removed if necessary.

If the wound is small, then it will be more convenient to use a plaster during therapy, rather than a bandage. In the package, it is already cut into miniature short strips that can be conveniently glued to the skin.

The plaster with Peruvian balsam has a flesh-colored base, so it is unobtrusive. If necessary, it can be neatly glued even on open parts of the body and face.

Today on sale you can also find "Branolid-N" with other impregnation options. For example, with oil. But in the composition of such products there is no Peruvian balsam and other healing ingredients. Therefore, they are completely useless in the treatment of wounds. These options are more often used for massages and for cosmetic purposes. In order not to buy a useless product, it is worth carefully studying its composition before purchasing.

Compound

The patch with Peruvian balsam received a unique composition from the manufacturers. This is the main feature of the product, which makes it curative and effective.

The bandage option is a cut of several layers of sterile mesh gauze. The cellular fabric is impregnated with a healing composition. The main active ingredient in it is the Peruvian balsam itself. It is a natural resin that is extracted from the bark of trees growing in the tropics of America.

It is a natural healing agent, which is a thick, dark liquid with an oily consistency. It itself has a very pleasant vanilla aroma. But in the composition of the patch, the latter is usually interrupted by other additional components. The balm itself is additionally enriched with a variety of essential oils in large portions. It also contains cinnamic and benzoic acid.

For a healing dressing, 265 mg of this main active ingredient is used immediately. The base is abundantly impregnated with it.

There are also other components in the dressing.

The table will help to deal with them:

Additives from the composition	Peculiarities
Vaseline (white)	It is a soft, tender base for a healing ointment that spreads easily over the skin, allowing the active ingredients of the composition to be absorbed quickly and easily.
Hydrogenated fat	This is a type of artificial fat that has a long shelf life (and increases overall shelf life) and a low melting point.
Glycerin monostearate (40-50%)	An emulsifier that facilitates the combination of water and fatty molecules. It is necessary for better absorption and more comfortable use of various ointments on the skin.
Medium triglycerides	Synthetic dietary fat actively used in cosmetology.

There is no water in the composition. Instead, only different fats are used for the optimal consistency of the product.

Separately, it is worth noting the very basis of the bandage. It is always a special cotton fabric that is breathable and secret-permeable. Therefore, the skin under the bandage, even when worn for a long time, “breathes” perfectly. It is not necessary to remove the cover from time to time to give air access to the skin. It is imperative to change the bandage only if it gets wet. For example, after being exposed to rain or careless hygiene procedures.

The dressing impregnation compound has a reddish-brown tint. It is a viscous mixture, thick in consistency. It gives the tissue a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect. Glycerin is especially important in the composition of the product. It is thanks to him that the lightest film is created on the surface of the wound, which protects the problem area from the ingress of liquid inside. Buyers highlight the antibacterial effect of this composition. The mixture creates a barrier against harmful microorganisms.

The composition of the product turned out to be effective and safe. Therefore, the bandage is often recommended for use even in pediatrics.

Indications for use

Specialists use it to alleviate the patient's condition and accelerate the healing of a wide variety of wounds. For example, after removing nails, in order to protect the problem area from infection, during phimosis operations or during skin transplantation. In the latter case, the patch / bandage helps to secure the skin flaps or grafts.

If, when using the bandage, vivid alarming symptoms appear, it is better to refuse further use of any preparations with Peruvian balsam and choose their effective counterparts for yourself.

Therapeutic effect

Patch with Peruvian balsam, when used correctly, shows excellent results:

• perfectly passes fluid from the wound, not allowing the secretion to stagnate (also prevents the appearance of wet cavities - the favorite places of bacteria);
• does not allow the formation of scar tissue, promotes accurate, even healing of the skin;
• in the course of treatment does not allow the wound surface to dry, which significantly reduces the discomfort for the patient (also softens the edges of the wound);
• stimulates the formation of granulations and new epithelial cells;
• has antibacterial and antiseptic effect;
• protects against loss of body fluids, which are important for normal wound healing;
• maintains a comfortable temperature in the problem area;
• protects against chemical and mechanical stress on the damaged area.

It is especially convenient that during use the bandage does not stick to the wound surface, which means that it does not cause unnecessary discomfort to the patient. The coating is very convenient to change. This process is simple as simple and painless as possible. Owing to the porous structure of the tissue, oxygen circulates freely and the wound "breathes".

The active substances from the composition of the ointment accelerate the healing process of tissues. They do not allow infection to penetrate into the wound, which means that they are an excellent prophylactic agent for possible purulent inflammation. Free access of air to the wound also speeds up the process of skin regeneration.

The product is capable of maintaining its unique disinfecting properties for a long time. It can be said that it "forces" the epidemic to recover. As a result, the outflow of fluid in the problem area is accelerated. This prevents possible blood poisoning.

Cosmetologists and dermatologists most often prescribe such a remedy for poor and prolonged healing of wounds and burns. But dressings are also used for different types of dermatitis. Interestingly, the remedy works at any stage of healing. So, at the very beginning, it returns elasticity to the edges of the wound and protects them from dryness, roughness.

In case of burns, the drug behaves in a special way. In this case, it cools the inflamed problem area. As a result, the sensation of itching and burning completely disappears or significantly decreases. It also acts as a pain reliever. It can reduce the intensity of painful sensations in the wound area for up to 75 hours.

For serious deep wounds, these dressings and patches are usually used after the bleeding has stopped and the problem area has begun to heal little by little. At this stage, the drug prevents cicatricial complications, allows, after tightening the damage on the skin, to maintain the same mobility of the joint. Since the bandage practically does not stick to the surface of the skin, there is no need to be afraid of pain when changing it.

With trophic ulcers, burns and hypothermia, it is important to use the remedy at all stages of skin healing. The dressing will protect the wound surface from infection, dirt, hypothermia and other possible negative environmental influences. Also, scabs will not appear under it.

Dressings "Branolid N", containing Peruvian balsam in the composition, in most cases do not cause allergies, since they are declared by the manufacturer as hypoallergenic. But still, for the first time, it is better to treat a small area of ​​the skin with the agent and carefully observe the body's reaction to its use. Due to the softness of the fabric, the bandage can be applied in all areas. In general, the product is suitable for all skin types - even sensitive ones.

Instructions for use

In order for the dressing to be as effective as possible for any problem, it is important to use it correctly. Detailed instructions on the packaging of the goods will help the buyer in this.

When using the product, you must:

2. Remove the workpiece of the required size or cut off a part of it, in shape and parameters corresponding to the damaged area of ​​the skin.
3. Remove the protective film by peeling it off the adhesive layer.
4. Apply a treatment coating to the problem area.
5. Remove the top protective cover.
6. If necessary, fix the bandage from above with a bandage.

If a bandage or other auxiliary means is used for additional fixation of the entire structure, then you will have to take care of the periodic "airing" of the wound. The bandage itself is great for helping the skin to breathe. To further secure it, you can use a regular plaster, cut into thin strips and located along the edges of the entire structure. The middle above the wound should remain breathable.

If the treatment of the wound takes place in the "field" conditions, it is very important to pre-treat the hands with an antiseptic. It is advisable to wipe the skin nearby the problem area with it, stepping back about 0.5 cm from the wound itself.

When using a bandage on wet wounds, for the first time, an absorbent napkin should also be applied on top. Each time you change this layer, you need to take a new coating with Peruvian balsam.

Interaction with other medicinal products
