Mechanism of Action
Cutaneous Spray is a spray powder dressing containing light kaolin and silver sulfadiazine for topical use. Light kaolin creates a mechanical barrier against external agents, protecting wounded skin, and at the same time, it draws away and absorbs exudate. The presence of silver sulfadiazine, a metal-organic compound obtained by the reaction of silver nitrate with sulfadiazine, prevents the microbic contamination of the dressing and maintains the wound environment free from exogenous bacteria.
Cutaneous Spray peculiar formulation thus allows controlling exudate by creating an environment that aids the natural healing and provides an effective barrier to microbial penetration.
