Benefits

• Demonstrated faster epithelialization rates and more robust skin after healing in numerous clinical studies
• In vitro studies have shown that Replicine™ Functional Keratin® increases the rates of proliferation and migration of keratinocyte cells (which play a key role in epithelialization) and that the migrating keratinocytes express increased levels of collagen 4 and collagen 7 which are critical for basal membrane integrity
• Can speed healing, improve the healed outcome, and reduce cost of care

Indications

keragel® is indicated for use on venous leg ulcers, arterial ulcers, diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, skin graft donor sites, first- and second-degree burns, superficial injuries, cuts, abrasions, and surgical wounds.

Contraindications

Contraindicated for use on patients with a sensitivity to keratin.
