Replicine™ Functional Keratin® proteins have been shown to activate keratinocyte cells present in the wound and to stimulate them to quickly enter a hyperproliferative phase, an essential phase of wound healing[1].
Using Replicine Functional Technology, keragel and keragelT™ are keratin rich gels designed for full and partial thickness wounds, skin disorders and Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). They help create a moist wound environment which promotes autolytic debridement and supports the wound healing process.
keragelT™ has a lower viscosity and so is thinner than keragel™, this is better suited to application to the delicate skin of EB patients.
Key Benefits
- Delivers Replicine Functional Keratin to the wound
- Maintains a moisture rich environment
- Can be used on both intact skin and open wounds
- Increases the rate of proliferation and migration of keratinocyte cells
- Faster epithelialisation rates[1,2]
- Easy to apply
Indications for keragelT™
keragelT™ is indicated for the topical application for dry or low-exuding wounds
- Epidermolysis bullosa
Indications for keragel™
keragel™ is designed for full and partial thickness wounds, suitable for dry and low to moderate exudate, such as:
- Venous leg ulcers
- Arterial ulcers
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Pressure ulcers
- Skin graft donor sites
- First and second degree burns
- Superficial injuries; cuts, abrasions and surgical wounds
