DESCRIPTION:
Balsam Peru is an effective capillary bed stimulant used to increase circulation in the wound area. Also, Balsam Peru has a mild bactericidal action. Castor Oil is used to improve epithelialization by reducing premature epithelial desiccation and cornification. Also, it can act as a protective covering and aids in the reduction of pain. Trypsin is intended for debridement of eschar and other necrotic tissue. It appears that in many instances removal of wound debris strengthens humoral defense mechanisms sufficiently to retard proliferation of local pathogens.
INDICATIONS:
To promote healing and the treatment of decubitus ulcers, varicose ulcers and dehiscent wounds.
WARNING:
Do not apply to fresh arterial clots. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children. Use only as directed. When applied to a sensitive area, a temporary stinging sensation may be noted.
DOSAGE:
Remove Safety Seal under cap. Apply a thin film of OPTASETM Gel a minimum of twice daily or as often as necessary. The wound may be left unbandaged or appropriate dressing applied. To remove, wash gently with appropriate cleanser.
