Abstract

This invention relates to wound-healing pharmaceutical or cosmetic (anti-skin aging) compositions in the form of a cream based on amino acids and sodium hyaluronate.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to wound-healing pharmaceutical compositions in the form of a cream based on amino acids and sodium hyaluronate.PRIOR ART[0002]In the absence of suitable preventive actions, patients who are paralysed or bedridden for long periods are liable to ischaemic necrosis and ulceration of the tissues covering projecting bones, especially in the sacral, ischial, malleolar, heel and great trochanter regions.[0003]Bedsores and chronic ulcerous wounds are usually treated with gentle massage to restore the circulation, possibly with mechanical removal of the necrotic tissue and cleansing with soap (which can cause oedema or dehydration), or with hydrophilic polymers, hydrogen peroxide or alcohol rubs (which can cause damage because the removal of the fats in the cutaneous tissue dries and cracks the skin).[0004]Serious burns also require debridement of the affected area and removal of necrotic tissue.DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION[0005]It has n...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0012]The compositions of the invention promote the elimination of necrotic tissue, thus facilitating more rapid regeneration of the tissues, and maintain the ideal humidity conditions to aid re-epithelialisation of the skin lesions, at the same time preventing the spread of germs.

Problems solved by technology

In the absence of suitable preventive actions, patients who are paralysed or bedridden for long periods are liable to ischaemic necrosis and ulceration of the tissues covering projecting bones, especially in the sacral, ischial, malleolar, heel and great trochanter regions.
