Your nurse, doctor or podiatrist has prescribed this dressing for you because you have a chronic wound, and the usual dressings for this type of wound have not been successful. The definition of this is:
“A chronic wound is a wound that does not heal in an orderly set of stages and in a predictable amount of time the way most wounds do; wounds that do not heal within three months are often considered chronic”.

OXYZYME and IODOZYME are a new type of wound dressing that do 3 important jobs to help your wound to heal:
1. They keep the wound moist (this helps healing).
2. They help the wound to breathe (essential for all aspects of life and healthy cellular activity).
3. They release small amounts of Iodine (which helps to treat or prevent infections).
In recent studies, the dressings have shown a very high rate of improvement / healing for wounds similar to yours.
“Out of 107 chronic wounds similar to yours, with OXYZYME 71% of them healed or improved in 6 weeks, and 74% of patients were satisfied with their treatment."
