Prevent skin from drying out:
Once the wound is healed and newly formed skin covers the former wound bed, care must be taken to protect this new, fragile tissue. Water-in-oil products help the skin to become smooth and flexible and resistant to the mechanical stress (friction and shear) of day-to-day activities.
Adding urea helps very dry skin to re-balance its moisture content and to stabilize its natural barrier function (e.g. Cutimed ACUTE 5% or 10%).
Provide medical skin care:
Designed for the particular requirements of problematic and dry skin conditions in elderly people, Cutimed Medical Skin Care provides rich care and moisture contributing to reduce dryness and itching.
A skin-friendly pH value and the absence of colorants and fragrance provide optimal care for stressed, problematic and mature skin. Newly healed and dry skin needs to be stabilised by providing sufficient amounts of moisture and lipids maintaining the barrier function of skin.
Pure medical performance needs to be accompanied by short term skin stabilising effects of the mature skin. In addition, mild cleansing products should be preferred as they maintain the natural pH value.
