Description
Medical device indicated in cases of occasional constipation, for those who cannot make an effort to expel fecal mass and after abdominal surgery to prevent the formation of particularly hard stools that could cause difficulty defecating with consequent excessive abdominal pushing that is potentially harmful.
Recommended when you need a softer stool mass and faster flow along the intestinal loops or in the presence of diverticula.
Sella Liquid Paraffin coats fecal matter and creates a lipid film along the intestinal walls, slowing the physiological absorption of water. The water not absorbed by the intestine helps soften stool. Furthermore, Sella Liquid Paraffin lubricates stool, facilitating its passage through the intestine without irritating the mucosa.
