AVO Cream™ Topical Emulsion is a water-based emulsion formulated for the dressing and management of superficial wounds, minor abrasions, dermal ulcers, donor sites, 1st and 2nd degree burns, including sunburns, and radiation dermatitis. When applied properly to a wound, AVO Cream™ Topical Emulsion provides an optimum moist environment for the healing process and provides temporary wound protection from harmful germs and other external contamination.
A wound covering, typically made of a hydrocolloid, hydrofibre, chitosan or alginate (salts and acids extracted from seaweed), intended to produce a water-absorbent gel upon contact with wound exudate; it does not contain an antimicrobial agent. The device assists in wound healing by absorbing exudate in wounds (e.g., ulcers, burns, surgical wounds, lacerations, abrasions) for minimal wound maceration, allowing wound debridement, and creating a moist wound-healing environment. The device may be in the form of a flat sheet/film, ribbon, rope, foam, liquid, paste, or powder. After application, this device cannot be reused.
