About Contractubex
A scar is invariably caused by wound, which may be of mechanical, thermal or chemical origin and gives rise to loss or destruction of tissue.Wound healing commences as soon as damage has occurred. The terminal phase of the wound healing process is characterized by the formation of a tough,stable wound closure-the SCAR.Contractubex Gel developed by MERZ+CO. specifically for the treatment of scars and keloids. Contractubex has achieved outstanding success in the local treatment of hyper-and hypo-trophic, movement -impeding and keloidal scars. Both old and recent scars become smoother and the tissue more functional, elastic, strong and less conspicuous.
- Anti-inflammatory
- Anti-proliferative
- Reduces excess growth of connective-tissue
- Hydrates and makes scar tissue softer
- Acts as a keratolytic and emollient
- Soothes (counteracts pruritus)
Treatment:
Treatment depends on the scar size, freshness of scar and the conditions of scars etc. Large, hard and old scars may need 3-6 months or even longer treatment. Treatment of scar requries a high degree of persverance and active participation by patient in order to achieve a noticable result.
Mode of action:
The active ingredients in Contractubex are cepae extract, heparin and allantoin. Cepae extract is obtained from onions. It generates an anti-inflammatory, bactericidal effect. And it reduces swelling while preventing excessive growth of the connective tissue. Heparin loosens the tissue structure. It has an anti-inflammatory effect and helps to bind water to the scar tissue. Allantoin encourages wound healing and has a soothing effect. In older scars its most important effect is to replenish and regulate the extreme lack of water in the scar tissue – and to promote blood flow.
The effects of the three ingredients enhance and complement each other. And the water-soluble ointment base allows the active ingredients to penetrate into deeper layers of the skin. Contractubex does not leave behind a residue. Rather its protective film shields the sensitive scar tissue. In many cases, Contractubex treatments make scar tissues elastic again and restore most of their functionality. The earlier you begin to treat the scar tissue with Contractubex the better the outcome will be.
