Designed for wound bed preparation, HYALO4 Start helps remove and degrade devitalised tissue while preserving healthy surrounding tissue. Hyaluronic acid provides hydration to support the natural tissue repair process and protect newly formed viable tissue, while collagenase assists with wound bed preparation.

HYALO4 Start is suitable for the management of sloughy wounds, pressure injuries, vascular ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and other indicated wounds.

Wound Bed Preparation & Devitalised Tissue

Effective wound bed preparation can be an important part of managing wounds containing devitalised tissue.

The collagenase in HYALO4 Start acts specifically on devitalised tissue to assist its removal and degradation while preserving healthy tissue in the surrounding skin.

At the same time, hyaluronic acid sodium salt provides hydrating properties that promote a moist wound environment, supporting the body's natural repair process and helping protect newly formed viable tissue.

How HYALO4 Start Works

Hyaluronic Acid Sodium Salt (Sodium Hyaluronate)
Hyaluronic acid provides hydration within the wound environment, supporting the natural tissue repair process and helping protect newly formed viable tissue.

Collagenase
HYALO4 Start contains bacterial collagenase derived from a non-pathogenic strain of Vibrio alginolyticus. The collagenase assists with wound bed preparation by degrading devitalised tissue while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.

Together, these components help prepare the wound bed while maintaining a moist environment that supports the natural healing process.

How to Use

For open or exposed wounds:

1. Clean – Clean the wound using physiological solution.

2. Apply – Apply HYALO4 to the wound, ensuring the affected area is completely covered.

3. Cover – Cover the wound with a non-adherent dressing.

4. Bandage – Cover the treated area with a sterile dressing to ensure appropriate contact.

Always follow the product instructions and seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional to ensure HYALO4 Start is suitable for the wound being treated.
