A delicate spray containing aluminum powder and a number of active ingredients that support skin care after surgical procedures.
A wound is a break in the anatomical integrity of tissues or
their damage under the influence of a damaging factor. The process
of restoring tissue integrity after trauma is called
healing.
• This is a process that combines physical, chemical, and cellular
mechanisms that rebuild the damaged structure or
replace it with connective tissue.
• A wound can heal quickly by adhesion of the wound edges
(primary intention healing) – the wound edges adhere to each other and the integrity of the skin is restored, resulting in a linear scar. This occurs in clean wounds, properly cut, and takes 6-8 days. This is the best way for wounds to heal.
• Healing by granulation (secondary intention healing) is a longer process and occurs when there are a number of reasons why the wound does not close properly. Granulation tissue forms at the base of the wound from the blood vessels growing into it. Granules are a substrate for regeneration of the superficial layers of the skin and epidermis, which grows from the wound edges inward towards the granulation tissue. Such wound healing requires careful maintenance and frequent dressing changes. The scar that remains after wound healing is large and clearly visible.
Post-operative wound care is extremely important.
For surgical wounds to heal properly, they must be provided with appropriate conditions by a product that:
‒Provides adequate wound hydration
‒Limits bacterial reproduction
‒Has absorbent and astringent action
‒Soothes and supports the regeneration process
It is also important to use special protective clothing to prevent the animal from licking the wound.

Active ingredients
CALENDULA EXTRACT
Calendula extract is rich in flavonoids and carotenoids. It accelerates the granulation process, wound healing, soothes irritation, and prevents flaking. It is used for burns, frostbite, skin defects, rashes, bruises, insect bites.
Linseed oil
Linseed oil is a rich source of essential unsaturated fatty acids. They are a constituent part of the building material of cell membranes, act as hormones and intracellular messengers. They help to better hydrate and lubricate the skin, giving it elasticity and softness.
SILVER
It has antibacterial and antiseptic properties, and also accelerates the healing of damaged tissues.
Hyaluronic acid
Glycosaminoglycans are found in tissues throughout the body, where they are an indispensable part of the extracellular matrix. In the healing process, the wound environment is naturally kept hydrated, enhancing cell vitality and migration. The attraction of water and nutrients from surrounding tissues leads to their concentration around the wound, which has a positive effect on the wound healing process.
Kaolin
It has an absorbent and astringent effect.
ALUMINUM
Micronized aluminum has a protective and antibacterial effect on wounds, increases the contractions of wound edges, accelerating the healing process.
