PATHELEN^® WoundPowder is a powder which contains both hydrophilic and hydrophobic silicas in a highly porous structure. Through capillary action, these silicas act to irreversibly adsorb wound exudative material (including bacterial toxins) to the upper surface of the layers of the powder from where it effectively evaporates.

PATHELEN^® WoundPowder thus “de-toxifies” and cleans the wound.

PATHELEN^® WoundPowder is not antibacterial but withdraws water from a bacterial biofilm, disrupting its structure and allowing the host’s immune system to gain entry and destroy the microorganisms present.

Due to its mode of action, PATHELEN^® WoundPowder is able to treat a WIDE range of acute and chronic wounds.

Infected burn wounds
Noma
Diabetic/ neuropathic ulcers
Exuding wounds
Wounds with resistant nuclei
Fungating, cancerous or malignant lesions and wounds with necrotic tissue
Post-operative wounds
Traumatic wounds
Elephantiasis open wounds
Any open wounds with a biofilm

By disrupting the wound’s biofilm, it allows entry of the body’s own immune cells, which destroy microorganisms within the biofilm, promoting the natural healing process and reducing the need for antibiotics.

PATHELEN^® WoundPowder is an effective and powerful replacement for all other currently available antimicrobial wound treatment devices.

Clinical practice shows that the current, individual use of other antimicrobial agents in the treatment of purulo-inflammatory diseases and purulent wounds, does not always lead to the desired result. Additionally, misuse of antibiotics has contributed to the emergence of resistant (hospital) strains of pathogenic microorganisms, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and become a serious challenge for modern medicine.

PATHELEN^® WoundPowder can solve this problem, utilising new compositions based on highly dispersed silicas and which have enhanced absorptive, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing abilities for the treatment of a wide range of diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms, in particular, purulent wounds. The intensity of the regeneration process and healing of infected ulcers and wounds depends largely on the speed with which they are cleared of pus and necrotic tissues. Applique sorption, a method of wound healing in which an absorbent in powder form is applied to the wound as a dressing, greatly accelerates this process. This absorption detoxification restores the integrity of the skin and mucous membranes by the removal of microbial cells, bacterial toxins and toxic metabolites of wound fluid and wound cavities in direct contact with the surface of PATHELEN^®.

Another important therapeutic factor in the first phase of wound healing is dehydration, i.e. absorption of fluid from the wound cavity and perifocal tissues. Hydrophilic highly dispersed silica (HDS) can be used in the first phase of wound healing. Its detoxifying action is due to the absorption of pathogenic protein substances (up to 800 mg/g), including microbial enzymes, exo-and endotoxins (Lipopolysaccharides) and micro-organisms.

PATHELEN^® contains a unique patented formula, which when shaken for 15-20 seconds, will grow visibly in density by more than 20 times, creating the advanced sorption property and filling the bottle content
