Action
Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics: CURIOSIN helps the compromised (damaged, wounded, scratched, burnt, pimpled) skin to heal by primary or secondary intent: managing the microenvironment of the damaged area by water retention and delivery, acting as a mechanical and anti-microbial barrier and forming a biocompatible molecular bandage. This means that it will act as a hydrated bandage and keep the compromised skin moist, which is the primary objective of the treatment of wounds and burns. Once applied the hydrated Zn-hyaluronate layer forms a dense molecular network that acts as an elastoviscous molecular filter and prevents microorganisms from the environment (airborne and contact origin) from reaching the compromised skin surface. In this way, the hydrated hyaluronan layer acts as an anti-microbial bandage. By the same mechanism it also provides a protective shield against tissue damaging factors via scavenging reactive oxygen species resulting in reduced wound pain and tissue inflammation. Owing to some unique feature hyaluronan represents one of the most biologically compatible wound dressings.
