BIOCELLULOSE MEMBRANE - Bennett Health

Bionext® is a semi-transparent membrane composed of a pure cellulose nanofiber mesh spun by Acetobacter Xylinum. The fibers form

a strong and resilient scaffold for tissue regeneration. The membrane is designed to

regulate water moisture, promote cell metabolism and protect wounds from

external microorganisms.

BIOCELLULOSE MEMBRANEFunctions as a Temporary Skin Substitute

Indications: Bionext ® is intended for use on partial and full thickness wounds such as Burns, Leg Ulcers, Pressure ulcers, Diabetic ulcers, trauma wounds, complex surgical wounds and Epidermolysis Bullosa.

Contraindications: Not intended for use with third degree burns.

Application:• Clean the wound carefully using a wound cleanser or saline;

removing all foreign bodies and debris.• Thoroughly rinse with wound cleanser or saline. Gently dry the

wound using a dry sterilized gauze.• Cut the dressing to size; the membrane should overlap the wound

margin by 1 cm. • Using gauze or similar applicator dipped in wound cleanser or saline,

gently press the Bionext® membrane on the wound to achieve total adherence. Be sure to remove any air bubbles or excess exudate trapped under the membrane by gently swiping from the center moving the exudate outside to the edges. For improved protection, occlude the area with gauze or breathable secondary dressing for the first 48 hours or until total adherence is achieved.

• Use Bionext XP® with pores for heavier exudating wounds, using an absorbable secondary dressing sufficient to manage exudate. Change secondary dressings as needed, leaving Bionext XP® in place for up to 15 days.

Dressing Removal:• Bionext® can be changed as needed and used for an extended

period of time, often staying in place until the wound is healed or 15 days.

• As the wound heals, the edges of the membrane may be trimmed as they lift from the skin.

• If excess exudate forms under the membrane, use a small hole to drain the exudate or remove the membrane and place another.

• Bionext® should be removed if signs and symptoms of infection are present.

• Dressings are single use only.

Storage: Bionext® dressings should be kept in a well-ventilated environment between 10°C and 40°C temperature.

Case Study: Second Degree Burn

1. Cut the Bionext® to a size 1cm larger than the wound; maintaining sterile conditions (Fig. A)

2. Apply on the lesion (Fig. B)3. With gauze soaked in sterile solution (HOCl

Solution, sterile water, saline, etc) gently press the Bionext® on the injury for a full adherence (Fig. C)

4. Remove excess exudate and air bubbles between Bionext® and the wound bed (Fig. D)

Application

Bionext® is an effective biological wound treatment which may be used as a temporary skin substitute on lesions such as burns, traumatic wounds , chronic ulcers, and diabetic wounds. Acting as a powerful barrier against bacterial infections, Bionext® aims to protect injuries against the external environment, avoiding the exogenous events that might normally interfere with the healing process. Due to its selective permeability, Bionext® allows the passage of gases and blocks the passage of liquids and external agents.

Bionext®, fully adheres to the lesion in a practical and safe way , forming a saline layer that automatically detaches, as soon as the tissue is reconstructed. This allows for dressing to remain intact for up to 15 days, eliminating frequent dressing changes.

Advantages: Bionext helps to reduce pain, maintain healing temperature, hemostasis, decrease electrolyte loss, and optimize the healing process.
