Medicine Healit 5g is a medicine to treat skin wounds. Healit has the effect of limiting superinfection, reducing pain, facilitating faster wound healing and limiting scarring.

1. What is Healit 5g?


Healit is an open wound gel with the main ingredient being Copolymer 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA-HAS), with the excipients in the form of Hydrogel being Mcrogol 300 and distilled water.
Healit 5g is formulated in the form of a gel, this makes it possible for the drug to be applied to deep wounds, to penetrate the wound cavities that other dosage forms can affect. Therefore, using Healit gel in deep wounds helps to increase granulation tissue quickly, filling the wound. The drug is packaged in tubes with the content of Healit 5g and Healit 15g.
Healit works to accelerate wound healing through the following 3 mechanisms:
Recovery of excess free radicals This is the most characteristic mechanism. The characteristic structure contains an amine group with a space-blocking effect, and Healit acts on free radicals to turn them into stable nitrous radicals. It then recovers the excess free radicals that are over-formed during the inflammatory phase, bringing the free radical concentration to physiological levels. This helps prevent the adverse effects of free radicals and accelerates wound healing.
The Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences conducted in vitro research that proved Healit has the ability to scavenge free radicals.
Optimized moisture, pH Hydrogel structure has the ability to expand to 10 times its volume, Healit will attract and retain at the wound exudate containing nutrients, growth factors and antibodies.
Hydrogel layer helps keep moisture, pH at the wound is always stable, cells move easily. Facilitates granulation tissue to be formed and thrive in a physiological healing environment.
Limiting infection thanks to the polymer barrier Bacterial penetration from outside the wound is limited thanks to the polymer barrier, which helps prevent superinfection and protects the granulation tissue that is being formed.

2. Effect of Healit


Shorten healing time The healing process takes place in an optimal physiological environment: humidity and pH are always stable, immune cells are maximized, free radical levels are maximized. control at the physiological level. Thanks to that, the granulation tissue is formed and developed strongly, the wound healing time is shortened.
Pain Relief Wounds that are kept moist, free of scabs and traction, and maintained at physiological pH will help relieve local pain, especially wounds with a lot of skin loss and burns.
Limit bad scars The polymer gel layer protects the newly formed tissue, the wound surface is finished uniformly to help limit the creation of stretch marks. In addition, controlling free radical levels reduces H2O2 levels, shortens the duration of wound inflammation and reduces excessive collagen deposition. The result is a soft, thin, uniform scar, which enhances the aesthetics and minimizes the patient's limitation of motor function.
Safety Copolymer 2- hydroxyethylmethacrylate has a large molecular size, is not absorbed or enters the blood, but has only local effects, so it is less irritating, allergic, safe to use for many subjects.
Non-sticky, easy to change dressing Gel Healit is a hydrophilic gel, so it is easy to change the dressing and clean the wound, without causing damage to the newly formed tissue.

3. Indications of Healit 5g


Healit has the effect of supporting the treatment of acute and chronic open wounds of the skin:
Skin abrasions, skin tears, Skin and mucosal cracks (nipple cracks, lip cracks) Anal fissures, external hemorrhoids Burns Pressure ulcers, diabetic skin ulcers Post-operative wounds Slow-healing wounds

4. Instructions for using Healit . gel


Wash off mechanical impurities from the wound with appropriate wound cleaning solutions. Apply a thin layer of gel (maximum thickness: 1mm) to the entire wound surface and extend a small distance beyond the wound. Cover the wound with a waterproof bandage after applying the gel. Then use other common dressings to cover the wound, so the bandage should be about 1cm wider than the wound. Depending on the condition of the wound or as directed by the doctor to consider the time to apply a new layer of gel and change the dressing: usually after about 12-48 hours.

5. Notes when using Healit 5g


Some patients when using Healit may experience reactions such as mild itching, but this is not an adverse reaction.
If you experience symptoms such as pain, redness, you should stop using Healit gel and consult your doctor.
Healit is used in the treatment of acute and chronic open wounds. Healit is a safe drug, makes the dressing change easier, it also has outstanding effects such as reducing wound healing time, reducing pain and limiting bad scars.
