Purpose of Hemoglobin Spray
The purpose of hemoglobin spray is to aid in the healing of complex wounds by increasing oxygen availability in the wound bed.
- Hemoglobin spray works by binding oxygen from the atmosphere and diffusing it into the wound bed, thereby promoting wound healing in slow-healing wounds 1.
- The spray is used as an adjunct therapy in the treatment of various types of wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, chronic wounds, and post-surgical wounds 2, 3, 1, 4.
- The application of hemoglobin spray has been shown to improve wound healing outcomes, including wound size reduction, pain reduction, and elimination of slough and exudate 2, 1.
Benefits of Hemoglobin Spray
The benefits of using hemoglobin spray in wound healing include:
- Improved wound healing outcomes, with significantly higher weekly chance of healing in various types of wounds 2.
- Reduced pain and discomfort for patients, with substantially lower pain scores reported in patients treated with hemoglobin spray 1.
- Simplified treatment and care, with the ability to apply the spray topically in a non-clinical setting 5.
- Safety and minimal risk of adverse effects, with no nanoparticles or dust created during application and no risk of inhaling harmful concentrations of particles 5.
Applications of Hemoglobin Spray
Hemoglobin spray has been used in the treatment of various types of wounds, including:
- Diabetic foot ulcers, with improved wound healing outcomes and reduced pain and discomfort 2, 1.
- Chronic wounds, with improved wound healing outcomes and reduced slough and exudate 2, 3.
- Post-surgical wounds, with improved wound healing outcomes and reduced risk of infection 2, 4.
- Infected posttraumatic and postoperative wounds, with improved physiological conditions for healing and reduced risk of complications 4.
