Granulox
A topical haemoglobin-based spray for the treatment of chronic wounds
Unique mode of action – Granulox acts like a shuttle for oxygen molecules Granulox® is an innovative medical device for the treatment of chronic wounds, such as venous leg ulcer, arterial leg ulcer, mixed leg ulcer, diabetic foot ulcers, secondary healing of surgical wounds and pressure sores. Granulox can also be used on sloughy and infected wounds as an adjunct to standard of care. Granulox provides the wound with oxygen by means of diffusion. The haemoglobin supplies the base of the wound with oxygen. The improved oxygen supply to the base of the wound supports wound healing.
Granulox® is an oxygenating spray for the treatment of chronic wounds,
including diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, arterial leg ulcers, and mixed leg ulcers for the secondary healing of surgical wounds and pressure sores .
It can also be used on healing of sloughy and infected wounds .
When Granulox is sprayed on a wound, highly purified haemoglobin is released.
This binds with oxygen from the environment and diffuses through the wound exudate,
and the haemoglobin supplies the base of the wound topically with oxygen.
The oxygen supply to the base of the wound supports wound healing and patient outcomes .
A convenient spray application makes Granulox a portable and easy-to-use adjunct to standard of care wound treatment. Granulox can be applied when the wound dressing is changed, and at least every three days for optimal results.
Studies report that using Granulox results in shorter healing time, reduced pain scores and total cost savings for healthcare providers compared to standard of care.
Twice as many chronic wounds healed at 8–16 weeks compared to standard of care
Time to heal diabetic foot ulcers 50% shorter than with standard of care
Treatment costs in diabetic foot ulcers at least 40% lower than with standard of care
99% less slough in chronic wounds after 4 weeks compared to 33% with standard of care
When to use Granulox
Granulox® is a spray for use on chronic wounds. Granulox is an innovative medical device for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, arterial leg ulcers, and mixed leg ulcers, secondary healing of surgical wounds and pressure sores. Granulox can also be used on sloughy and infected wounds.
How to apply Granulox
After adequate debridement and cleaning of the wound,Granulox® is sprayed onto the cleaned wound. The nozzle is held about 5-10 cm from the wound, spraying until the wound is completely coated with a thin film. One to two seconds are normally sufficient to cover a wound area of 2 x 3 cm. The spray is applied every time the dressing is changed, or at least every three days. After use, the wound should be covered with a breathable wound dressing.
Wound debridement and irrigation. Granudacyn® is recommended for wound irrigation.
Thin and even application of Granulox® from 5–10cm distance. One spray for one second covers a wound of 2x3cm.
Covering the wound with a breathable wound dressing.
How it works.
Haemoglobin spray designed to help provide the wound with the required oxygen by means of facilitated diffusion. The active substance, haemoglobin, aims to supply the base of the wound with oxygen. The improved oxygen supply to this area can help support healing.
INDICATIONS
For the treatment of chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, venous, arterial and mixed-aetiology leg ulcers, and secondary healing of surgical wounds. Can be used on sloughy and infected wounds after appropriate treatment.
