Hemagel is the only hydrophilic gel with an inbuilt scavenger of these radicals. This fundamentally accelerates the treatment of wounds. Once Hemagel is applied, an elastic layer forms on the surface of the wound. This absorbs free oxygen radicals and eventually any secretions or fluids from the wound. At the same time, this layer prevents the formation of a scab and supplies a sufficient amount of humidity. The unique gel technology prevents adherence to the wound, resulting in its rather easy removal that is painless – simply through mild wiping or rinsing.
