BIAFINE

The first wound dressing emulsion that impacts all three stages of the healing process.

BIAFINE in the three stages of healing

Stage 1 : Inflammation phase

- Oil in water emulsion extracts exudate for drainage
via osmotic and capilliary action : resulting hyperosmotic emulsion absorbs debris, necrotic tissue, bacteria and etc.

- A mildly alkaline ( ph 6.8-7.6 ), tensio active soft soap which assist in cleansing.

- An occlusive dressing which provides the optimum environment for healing, inhibits the loss of water, and protects from bacterial contamination.

- Local vasolidation, withthe opening of precapillary sphincters, results in a " pro-inflammatory " response and the delivery of essential wound repairing nutrients/ cells.

Stage 2 : Proliferation phase

- Massive recruitment of macrophages remove bacteria/ contaminants known to inhibit healing.

- A significant decrease in IL-6 levels causes reduced feedback control of IL-1, stimulating fibroblasts and secretion of collagen/ collagenase, therefore promoting rapid tissue remodelling.

Stage 3 : Maturation phase

- Effect on cytokine ( IL-1/ IL-6) concentrations stimulate formation of ordered collagen beds; the platform for rapid and quality-structured epithelial growth.

- Emollient action reduces the extent of retraction at the site, epithelial growth is promoted.

Indications :

Erythema secondary to radiation therapy.
First and second degree burns, and all other non-infected skin wounds.

Contra-indications :

Haemorrhagic wounds, dermatoses due to food or drug allergies, prior skin grafts.

Warnings :

Biafine contains no screening substance and does not protect from sunlight. Since Biafine contains no antiseptic,ensure that the lesion to be treated is aseptic in all cases of a serious wound.

Adverse Effects :

The hyperaemia caused by the application of Biafine may be responsible for pain symptoms ( sudden reactivation of the microcirculation ) ; these are moderate and transient ( 15 - 30 mins ) as a general rule.

Mode of use and dosage :

During the radiotheraphy, apply the substance thickly on and around the irradiated zone, then rub in lightly until it is absorbed. Three apllications per day, as recommended, may prove in adequate depending on the dosage, accumulation of the substance and the source of ionising radiation. Two supplementary applications may be prescribed, one on getting up in the morning and one before going to bed, a but a long interval must still be allowed between applications.

In cases of first and second degree burns, and dry and painful erythema, apply thickly at 10 mins intervals untilno more is absorbed by the skin. The last layer is made to penetrate by rubbing in lightly. The treatment must be repeated as long as a sensation of warmth persist.

If a dressingis necessary, the last layer of the Biafine will be 1 cm thick. In the absence of dressing, apply in thick layers, but repeat the application as soon as the emulsion has been absorbed..

As a general rule inall skin woundspreviously disinfected with the usual antiseptic, the emulsion must always be applied in a very thick layer and must overlap the surface of the wound by a wide margin. Dry , absorbent dressings must not be used.

Moisten the compress in contact with Biafine with physiological serum. Cost of treatment per day : it is difficult to establish the day-to-day cost of treatment with Biafine.
