No oxygen – no healing

Chronic wounds share a common challenge: a lack of oxygen reaching the wound. Wound healing requires large amounts of oxygen      , and healing is delayed when insufficient oxygen is available in the wound. A sustained failure of oxygenation at the tissue level – one of the barriers to healing for chronic wounds – is called hypoxia  .

Patients with chronic wounds, such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers suffer from underlying conditions that compromise the body’s ability to move oxygen to the wound. The situation is worsened by a combination of reduced blood flow in the region of the wound, due to underlying diseases such as diabetes or chronic venous insufficiency, and less efficient    , healing because the wound healing process consumes more oxygen  .

Granulox: evidence-based oxygenation

Research supports the efficacy of wound oxygenation using facilitated diffusion. A EWMA group of experts has assessed the various treatment options available for addressing non-healing wounds  , citing topical oxygen therapy as offering accelerated healing with a high level of accessibility and ease of use, even for at-home use by patients.

Clinical studies report that using Granulox haemoglobin spray leads to shorter healing time, reduced pain scores and total cost savings for healthcare providers compared to the 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    
  • More than 70% of patients reported lower average pain scores at four weeks than with standard of care in chronic wounds   
  • 99% less slough in chronic wounds after 4 weeks compared to 33% with standard of care
