Sofargen Spray and Gel®
WHAT DOES IT DO GOOD?
Sofargen® spray is a medical device product in powder form, for the treatment of minor skin wounds, especially cuts, abrasions, cuts, superficial wounds and general skin continuity solutions. It contains two main components, kaolin (light kaolin) and silver sulfadiazine. Kaolin, a fine, white powder, covers the injured skin with a protective crust and at the same time, drains and absorbs the exudates. Sulfadiazine silver thanks to its broad antimicrobial activity (Gram +, Gram-, anaerobic) prevents wound infection.
Sofargen can be used from the moment the wound is created until it heals completely. Sofargen® can be used in all stages of wound healing.
