How it works
Epiprotect®Ulcer can be used to heal acute and chronic ulcers, in a cost-effective way
Epiprotect®Ulcer is indicated for patients with acute and chronic ulcers. Epiprotect®Ulcer is a wound dressing consisting of a thin film of biosynthetic cellulose polymer intended to be used as a protective barrier for superficial wounds and for deep wounds that have breached the dermis. Epiprotect®Ulcer can also be used as a temporary coverage for deep extensive wounds prior to transplantation or other surgical intervention.
Epiprotect®Ulcer supports the body to control the level of moisture in the wound by facilitating the formation of a scab. The device has a pain reducing effect.
A product that heals ulcers and decreases the treatment costs
When Epiprotect®Ulcer adheres to a superficial wound, the dressing can stay on the wound until it is fully healed. The dressing works like a scaffold for a crust, that will peel off together with the dressing after re-epitelization.
Epiprotect®Ulcer can drastically decrease the treatment cost of ulcers by minimising the frequency of dressing changes, the number of visits to the healthcare center and thus, the whole cost for the treatment.
Avoiding the use of dressings that need to be changed every 3-4 days, this is our revolution.

"The results of the study showed that patients with partial thickness burns treated with microbial cellulose had a shorter duration of hospital stay, lower pain scores both during and after wound care, and they needed fewer changes of dressing. There was also a tendency for epithelialisation to be quicker in the cellulose group."
