Wound-Be-Gone is a topical gel created to accelerate wound healing and reduce scarring. It is a unique combination of highly effective “moist healing” and a patented active ingredient. The moist environment supports the movement of cells and maintains a constant temperature in the wound, which is critical for quick healing without unsightly scars. The active ingredient removes free oxygen radicals from the site of the wound and, at the same time, creates an elastic layer that prohibits contact between the wound and its external environment. This prevents the wound from becoming contaminated and speeds the healing process.
Teams of scientists from the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic were able to incorporate effective scavengers of free oxygen radicals into a polymer structure. The use of polymer matrices has a number of advantages. They are composed of large macromolecules that are interconnected. This prevents the molecules from penetrating the skin and entering the body. Thus, they remain on the wound's surface. This allows the active ingredient to work in a systematic manner. The gel also contains a large amount of water and helps to ensure the so-called "moist healing" process in the wound, which also aids in the healing process.
