FACILITATOR may be used in dogs, cats and horses. Composed of
hydroxyethylated amylopectin, FACILITATOR prevents wound contamination
to assist the healing process.
In carefully controlled clinical trials conducted in dogs,
FACILITATOR demonstrated a remarkable ability to aid the healing
process in chronic and non-chronic wounds. Case results from these
trials are available below.
The Wound Healing Process
FACILITATOR is a liquid bandage composed of hydroxyethylated
amylopectin. When applied to a clean wound in a thin film and allowed
to dry, FACILITATOR prevents contamination, and helps provide an
optimal environment for wound healing. The results of a multicenter,
controlled clinical field trial demonstrate
clinical results under real life conditions.
Application
- Prepare the wound site by debridement and gentle cleansing.
- Blot the wound with sterile gauze or clean towels.
- Apply FACILITATOR until the wound is completely covered by a thin
film, allowing it to extend slightly beyond the wound edges.
- Avoid contaminating the tube by holding the tip of the tube
slightly above the wound.
- Allow the thin film of FACILITATOR to dry completely to assure
secure coverage of the wound.
- Do not use other topical ointments or salves as they may
interfere with the formation of the FACILITATOR liquid bandage.
- If the animal persists in licking at the wound, bandaging or
applying an Elizabethan collar may be required.
