ABOUT MYKUTIS
Mykutis is a medicated scaffold functionalized with POLYLACTIC ACID* and HYPEROIL, a vegetal based product made of neem and hypericum.
Polylactic acid is a thermoplastic material that is biodegradable and biocompatible in contact with living tissues.
Therefore it is suitable for different kinds of biomedical applications.
Myktutis is classified as a MEDICAL DEVICE - class IIB.
Mykutis is obtained by ELECTROSPINNING and “MESH” TECHNOLOGY.
TECHNOLOGY
ELECTROSPINNING
It is an effective technology for the production of non-woven fabrics made of continuous fibers with well-defined sub-micrometric dimensions.
Fabrics have morphological characteristics and controlled shape, thickness, and surface properties. They are able to mimic the morphology of the fibrous protein component of the extracellular matrix.
MESH TECHNOLOGY
It is a technology that allows you to puncture the scaffold and obtain remarkable expandability in order to facilitate the passage of the exudate.
APPLICATION FIELDS
Plastic Surgery
To cover dermal-epidermal acute lesions, for the management of acute wounds
Wounds Treatment
To treat well-cleansed chronic ulcers, sparsely granulated
ADVANTAGES
- NO HOSPITALIZATION NEEDED (operating room/outpatient clinic)
- REDUCES THE NEED FOR RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGICAL PROCEDURE
- REDUCES THE NEED FOR DRESSING CHANGE UNTIL COMPLETE HEALING
- BACTERIOSTATIC EFFECT, NO NEED FOR ANTISEPTIC DRESSING
- MAY BE APPLIED ON EXPOSED BONES AND TENDONS
- SINOUS APPLICATION, FISTULAS AND/OR TUNNELS
- EASY APPLICATION thanks to its ELECTROSTATIC PROPERTY
- FAST TISSUE REGENERATION
HOW TO USE MYKUTIS
Opening Instructions
Open the sterile envelope
CAUTION! Separate and extract MYKUTIS from the 2 meshed medical paper sheets.
STEP 1
Cleanse the floor and perilesional edges of the lesion using the physiological solution (or applying 2-3 drops of Hyperoil® oily formulation, well-distributed with sterile gauze).
STEP 2
Apply MYKUTIS® in single fold, overpassing borders by 2-3 cm, on the floor of ulcers or lesions granulated and re-epithelialized.
DRESSING CHANGE: within 30 days from its application.
