Cinesteam® Enhances Awareness for Pressure Injury Prevention
Cinesteam® strives to eliminate pressure injuries through public education and effective products.
Pressure injuries, often overlooked, are a pressing concern in healthcare discussions. Cinesteam® stands out on Worldwide Pressure Injury Prevention and Awareness Day by not only promoting awareness but also advocating for preventative measures against this common medical issue.
Annually observed, Worldwide Pressure Injury Prevention and Awareness Day, commonly known as "Stop the Pressure Day," takes place on November 21st. This initiative, championed by the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP), aims to raise public awareness regarding the prevention of pressure injuries and collaborates with healthcare professionals to address this significant topic.
Clémence Desjardin, the Director of Operations and Business Development at Cemag Care, resonates with the mission of Cinesteam®. She emphasizes the urgency of improving education surrounding pressure ulcers, stating, "Patients often rely on our products to manage malodor stemming from pressure ulcers. Our experiences have shown that enhancing awareness about prevention can significantly alleviate patient discomfort and suffering."
Although prevention remains a primary goal, issues arise when pressure injuries develop or become infected. In such cases, Cinesteam® offers innovative secondary dressings specifically designed to manage unpleasant odors associated with these injuries. The brand's unique formulation utilizes cinnamon-filled sachets that absorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from wound beds, effectively replacing them with a more pleasant aroma.
While the odor-control capabilities of Cinesteam®'s dressings are noteworthy, Desjardin asserts the importance of focusing on prevention. Both the NPIAP's initiatives and the Worldwide Pressure Injury Prevention and Awareness Day play pivotal roles in fostering a greater understanding of these preventable injuries.
Understanding Pressure Injuries
Pressure injuries develop due to prolonged pressure on the skin, typically over bony areas, which can interrupt blood flow and result in tissue damage. They are prevalent among individuals with mobility issues, older adults, and those in healthcare facilities. By increasing awareness and knowledge regarding how these injuries form, stakeholders hope to reduce the incidence and severity of these wounds.
Cinesteam®'s Innovative Approach
Since its inception, Cinesteam® has focused on improving quality of life for those dealing with malodorous wounds. Their innovative approach combines natural ingredients with a medical-grade application. Established by Dr. André Ulmann in 2016, Cinesteam® is a brand under Cemag Care, a French pharmaceutical company headquartered in Paris. Although not a wound healer itself, Cinesteam® significantly enhances the experience for those suffering from various types of wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, tumors, and pressure ulcers.
The product was developed between 2015 and 2019 and introduced in Europe in 2020 as a class one medical device. Users are encouraged to read the instructions carefully before use to ensure maximum efficacy and safety.
