When It Comes to Managing the Ongoing Smells Emitted by
Malodorous Wounds, Cinesteam®'s Cinnamon Secondary
Dressing Is a Superior Option.
FORT
LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Wounds can create
malodorous smells in various settings and for a variety of reasons.
For example, wound malodor can develop due to several healthcare
conditions, including the treatment of tumoral wounds, pressure
ulcers and sores, diabetic foot, burns, and post-surgery wounds.
Wounds can develop odors due to the presence of necrotic tissue and
fungating and bacterial infections.
These release odors that can decrease the quality of life of
both patients and their caregivers. Wound malodors can isolate
individuals through embarrassment and can have a serious impact
beyond the scope of an original injury or chronic wound.
In response to this common concern, Cinesteam® has developed an
innovative device by the same name. The solution uses a unique
odor-control secondary dressing with, among other things, an
adsorbent core and cinnamon powder sachet.
"Our research started with Isabelle Fromantin, the head of the
wound cancer unit at Curie Institut in Paris," says Clémence Desjardin, Director of
Operations and Business Development at Cemag Care. "Isabelle dealt
with malodorous wounds regularly, and eventually this led her to
study their root causes. She found certain spices were often used
to treat these wounds, and in our consequent in vitro studies, we
found that cinnamon was the best-in-class choice."
The R&D team found cinnamon's physico and chemico properties
were more capable when it came to odor control. The spice could
both adsorb and remove unwanted smells from the air and replace
them with its own classic, comforting alternative. The team took
that concept and developed a secondary dressing that is able to not
just release its own smells into the air but remove unwanted odors
using the natural active ingredient. The result is an
effective medical device that can dramatically improve the
management of malodorous smells, helping to restore quality of life
to patients and caregivers as they manage serious or chronic health
conditions.
