Cutimed^® Epiona^®

is a wound dressing for local interactive wound treatment. It is a sterile, freeze-dried matrix consisting of native collagen and calcium alginate. The collagen fibers form a three-dimensional open-pore matrix with a unique similarity to human dermis. This structure acts as a scaffold that boosts wound healing

Removal not necessary

Intended Purpose

Cutimed Epiona is indicated for the treatment of all wounds healing by secondary intention which are free of necrotic tissue, e.g. diabetic ulcers, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, ulcers caused by mixed vascular etiologies, trauma wounds and surgical wounds.

Wear time: The biologically degradable Cutimed Epiona will be absorbed naturally by the body. After first application, the wound should be treated at intervals of up to 72 hours, depending on the amount of exudate. Cutimed Epiona matrix which has not been absorbed by the body can remain in the wound.
