Bionect Start

Medical device CE 0373.
A fluid ointment for topical application containing hyaluronic acid sodium salt from bacterial fermentation as the main component and bacterial collagenase obtained from Vibrio alginolyticus as the medicinal substance incorporated. As part of the wound bed preparation phase, Bionect Start promotes the healing process and protects newly formed tissue thanks to the hydrating action of hyaluronic acid. Indeed, wound healing occurs more rapidly in a moist environment. Bacterial collagenase promotes wound bed preparation.
Indicated for the local treatment of chronic ulcers with necrotic or fibrinous tissue (i.e., bedsores, vascular leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers), promoting debridement. It is particularly indicated for providing an optimal moist environment and wound bed preparation that facilitates the natural healing process.

Components
Main component: hyaluronic acid sodium salt 0.2%. Other components: collagenase (not less than 2.0 nkat/g of ointment ¹ ), light liquid paraffin, white petrolatum.
1 - The katal (symbol kat) is the unit of measurement of the catalytic activity of an enzyme included in the International System of Units (SI).
