The Secondary Dressing Is Designed to Adsorb Smells, Removing
Foul Odors Rather Than Simply Covering Them Up
FORT
LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Chronic wounds can generate
unpleasant smells. Commonly referred to as wound malodor, these
unwanted aromas stem from things like necrotic tissue and bacteria
living within a wound. Odor management is important in maintaining
a high quality of life for patients, which is why the creators of
Cinesteam® invested time and resources into finding
the best natural active ingredient to adsorb malodorous wound
smells.
"Cinesteam is the first natural-based dressing to manage and
mask bad smells from malodorous wounds," says Clémence Desjardin,
Director of Operations and Business Development at Cemag Care. "It
is the very first and only dressing on the market that utilizes the
deodorizing effect of the natural active ingredient cinnamon."
Desjardin adds that cinnamon goes beyond adding its own pleasant
VOCs (volatile organic components) into the air to combat wound
malodors. It also has a proven ability to trap unwanted VOCs from
wounds.
Chromatographic analysis performed by the
Cinesteam® team in collaboration with multiple
prestigious medical organizations in the company's home region of
Paris found that there are
multiple spices and compounds that have adsorption properties.
Charcoal, coffee, cloves, turmeric, and similar natural
odor-control agents were tested, but cinnamon outperformed them
all.
The popular spice's ability to adsorb VOCs specific to
malodorous wounds was exceptional. In addition, some of the other
options presented secondary health concerns, such as turmeric's
close association with lead poisoning. Cinnamon had no such
concerns. The spice checked all of the boxes as both a deodorizing
and odorizing agent.
Contained in Cinesteam®'s innovative secondary
dressings, the over-the-counter medical device allows patients and
their caregivers to successfully eliminate wound malodors not just
by adding pleasant smells to the air but by actively managing the
root cause of the issue: VOCs generated within wounds. The
secondary dressing is a safe, effective, and comprehensive way to
keep a patient's environment smelling pleasant as they
rehabilitate.
