Wound Care

External Dermal Adhesion - Benefits for wound care:

• Active ingredients to promote healing and prevent scarring can be incorporated directly into the film.
• Watson's film will adhere readily to lightly moistened skin.
• The film is gas permeable, for better healing.
• Bandages composed of Watson's Speciality films are easy to remove. Just wash the bandage away. This characteristic makes film bandages ideal for children who want to avoid the "ouch" of traditional adhesive bandages.
• Unlike traditional bandages, which may reopen a wound when removed, film bandages simply wash away without disturbing the healing process.

Healing in the Oral Cavity - Benefits:

• Buccal Adhesive: Watson's Film adheres well to the oral mucosa (lining inside the cheek).
• Watson's Films can be used to cover painful canker sores, protecting the open sore from acidic foods while promoting healing.
• Applications are also possible for treatment of oral funguses and gum diseases. Films containing active ingredients to promote the temporary relief of pain could be applied directly to the gums for relief of teething pain and toothache.
