Granuflex Improved Formulation may be used in the treatment of a variety of wound types including leg ulcers, pressure sores, minor burns, donor sites, (after haemostasis has been achieved), and other types of granulating wounds. If applied to wounds containing dry slough or necrosis , the dressing prevents the loss of water vapour from the surface of the skin, and this effectively rehydrates the dead tissue, which is then removed by autolysis.
