Epiprotect® is developed from Eiratex® that is a registered trademark of S2Medical AB. The material is based on a biosyntetic polymer of sugar molecules that have been further developed by S2Medical. Our exact and controlled production gives the material unique properties such as superior conformability, transparency, strength andbreathability. Epiprotect® is one of the very few dressings that is so conformable that it can even be efficently used to treat facial burns. Epiprotect® will help the body to control the level of moisture at any given phase of the healing process. This means that the healing conditions will be optimal during all the different stages of healing without any need of dressing changes.

The wound healing dressing Epiprotect®
The results from clinical investigations in both Sweden and abroad have been ground breaking, since Epiprotect® has shown its unique property to substitute the use of dressings based on skin from animals or humans. Since Epiprotect can halfen the healing time in parts of the world and keep patients alive, the interest in the product from clinics around the world is huge, especially in regions where the use of dressings derived from human or animal products is prohibited for cultural or economic reasons. The national burn centres in Linköping (Highest survival rates in the world 2015) and Uppsala are currently using Epiprotect® in their clinical routine. It is mostly used in burn care and plastic surgery to treat partial thickness wounds, protect tissue after excisions of full thickness wounds and to cover skin transplants and donor sites.
