All
this said one would wish to inhibit matrix metalloproteases so that the
chronic wound can get a rest and can recover. If successful the wound
could start to deposit more connective tissue, granulation tissue would
appear and eventually wound healing would get back on track.
TenderWet
is very active at cleansing wounds, a stage where MMP-levels are
supposedly very high. TenderWet also stimulates granulation tissue
formation which makes the dressing an attractive candidate for further
studies.
And
indeed, initial experiments suggested that TenderWet - most of all the
special polyacrylate superabsorber inside - might be extremely
powerful at inhibiting matrix metalloproteases.

TenderWet polyacrylate superabsorber
The super-absorbing in TenderWet core
is the secret for the clinical performance. It consists of small
polyacrylate particles pre-activated with Ringer´s solution.
