ConvaNiox™ is nitric oxide generating wound dressing technology, developed to support wound healing through sustained nitric oxide release and is particularly suited for hard-to-heal DFUs.

ConvaNiox™ is a two-part multilayered, multimodal wound dressing that creates an optimised wound healing environment to increase the probability of healing of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).

The combined effects of each feature of the dressing composition addresses the fundamental challenges for hard-to-heal wounds:

• Protecting the wound from contamination
• Stimulating wound fluid into the dressing by creating a high osmotic gradient
• Creating a moist wound environment by donating moisture (when required), supporting autolytic debridement
• Absorbing and retaining wound fluid and non-viable tissue
• Neutralising the alkaline pH of absorbed chronic wound exudate
• Providing antimicrobial protection, disrupting biofilm, killing biofilm microorganisms and preventing biofilm formation, including in antibiotic-resistant, polymicrobial, and fungal biofilms*

The dressing is sterile, self-adhering, single-use. It can be applied by a patient, a caregiver, or a healthcare professional.

Features:

ConvaNiox™ is a sterile, self-adhering, single-use, two-part, multilayered, wound dressing that provides an optimised wound healing environment.

The dressing absorbs wound fluid and non-viable tissue, maintains a moist environment, disrupts and prevents biofilm* formation and provides an effective barrier to external contamination of the dressing.

Nitric Oxide (NO) is generated in the dressing and kills microorganisms (bugs) held within the dressing.

The combined effects of each feature of the ConvaNiox™ dressing composition addresses multiple fundamental challenges of hard-to-heal wounds and supports the progression of healing of diabetic foot ulcers.

• Coverage and protection: Adheres to the skin without the need for a secondary dressing  andprovides an effective barrier to external bacterial penetration.
• Hydration: Creates and maintains a moist wound environment, donating moisture (when required), regulating wound moisture balance to support autolytic debridement.
• Fluid handling: Continually absorbs and retains wound fluid, then evaporates excess moisture due to its high moisture vapour transmission rate.
• Healing support: Draws wound exudate and its components into the dressing by creating a high osmotic gradient which stimulates fluid flow into the dressing, where it is buffered to a mildly acidic pH.
• Bioburden control: Provides antimicrobial protection, and disrupts, kills and prevents biofilm formation, including antibiotic-resistant and single species biofilms, polymicrobial biofilms, and fungal biofilms.
