LINOVERA 30 ML SPRAY
Linovera® by B. Braun is a plant-derived essential, polyunsaturated and hyperoxygenated fatty acid (EFA) solution indicated for the prevention and treatment of stage I pressure ulcers.
EFAs, metabolic precursors of prostaglandins, are helpful in maintaining a condition of epidermal integrity and elasticity and the skin's water barrier. The absence or deficiency of EFAs leads to a disturbance of prostaglandin production and to the degradation of skin condition: eczema, erythema, skin thinning.
Linovera® works by increasing skin resistance and promoting capillary repair through regeneration of epidermal cells, thus preventing the onset of injury.
The hyperoxygenated fatty acids (EFAs) in Linovera® promote blood microcirculation, reduce the risk of ischemia, and facilitate epidermal cell renewal, increasing skin resistance against agents that cause pressure ulcers. At the same time they protect against friction by rebuilding the hydrolipidic protective film of the epidermis, reduce skin fragility and prevent dehydration. In addition, thanks to their antioxidant activity, they also reduce damage caused by free radicals.
