PRESENTATION:
Oxoferin Sterile Solution is a Brookes
speciality, being the only product of
its kind available for the treatment
of all types of wounds, ranging from
minor injuries to the most complicated
wounds.
Oxoferin
(Topical Solution) contains Tetrachlorodecaoxide,
and enjoys the distinction of being
the only product that contains oxygen
in the solution and stable form.
One more exclusive benefit that makes
Oxoferin stand out is its ability
to kill all pathogens, though it does
not contain any antibiotic.
COMPOSITION:
Each 10ml of Oxoferin Sterile Solution
contains:
Chloro-(iv)-oxide-oxygen
Complex (4:1) Hydrate 0.1037mg
Glycerine 200.0mg
In aqua pu'ra
ACTION:
Oxoferin acts by stimulating the immune
system of the body, and that is why
it is known as Immunomodulator.
When applied topically Oxoferin is
absorbed rapidly both by wound surface
and border area.
Oxoferin combines with the haem part
of haemoglobin, myoglobin and peroxidase,
forming a TCDO-haemo complex, this
in turn activates the macrophages
and accelerates the process of "PHAGOCYTOSIS"
This process of phagocytosis engulfs
all the pathogens present on the surface
of the wound including the cell debris,
thus cleans the wound surface, a prerequisite
for Regenerative Phase. Oxoferin also
helps in the Regenerative Phase by
giving rise to two impulses, namely
MITOGENIC and CHEMOTACTIC.
The mitogenic impulse gives rise to
two factors, MDGF(Macrophage derived
growth factor) and WAF (Wound angiogenesis
factor.) The MDGF deposits fibroblasts
and synthesizes collagen fibres which
fills the gap in the wounds, the WAF
helps in the formation of new capillaries
which further enhances the healing
process. The chemotactic impulse acts
on the myocyte(muscle cell) and causes
it to contract, thereby reducing the
wound surface.
All these three factors are influencing
the regenerative phase simultaneously
and thus accelerate the wound healing
with minimal scarring.
INDICATION:
- Infected
wounds
- General
problem wounds
- Decubitus
ulcers (bed sores)
- Post
operative wounds
- Post
traumatic wounds
- All
degrees of burns
- Contaminated
cuts and injuries
- Chronic
leg ulcers combined with venous
Insufficiency
- Supparative
cavities or fistular tracts
- Tissue
preparation for skin grafts and
- Delayed
wound healing and ulcer cases involving
impaired arterial circulation, such
as in old age & diabetes.
METHOD OF APPLICATION:
Apply directly or cover the wounds
with a gauze piece soaked with Oxoferin
on the affected area. The quantity
of Oxoferin to be applied depends
on the size of the wound. Generally
5ml per dressing of 4"x4"
twice a day is sufficient. If the
area of the wound is big (e.g. in
burns), Oxoferin can be applied mixed
with normal saline. Oxoferin should
be used within 30 days, once the bottle
is opened.
CONTRA-INDICATION:
None.
DRUG
INTERACTION
Oxoferin being a monotherapeutic agent
should not be used with other topical
therapeutics.
PACK:
Pack of 10ml plastic bottle.
Pack of 50ml plastic bottle.
INSTRUCTION
FOR OPENING THE BOTTLE
To open turn the cap completely over
the neck of the bottle.
STORAGE:
Protect from heat and light
NOTE:
Mild itching or burning sensation
is an indication that healing process
has started. Spontaneous bleeding
after application of Oxoferin is a
positive sign indicating that capillaries
have started to multiply. Excessive
application of Oxoferin may cause
greenish smear on the wound surface
which disappears once the dose is
reduced.
