1. Dermawound Original Formula: Pressure / Bed Sores; Diabetic Leg & Foot Ulcers; Decubitus Ulcers; Surgical Wound Dehiscence; Indwelling Catheters & Ostomy Sites; External Fixations; Arteriosclerotic Ulcers; Ischaemic Ulcers; Post-Burn Ulcers; Non-Healing Lacerations; Traumatic Ulcers; Radiation Burns; Spider Bite Ulcers (Brown Recluse); Amputee Stumps; Chronic or Re-occuring Wounds.

2. DermaWound Venous Stasis (VS) is specifically for: a)Venous Stasis; b)Sickle Cell; c)Scleroderma and d)Auto-Immune Ulcers ONLY!

No one in the world really wants to take on any of these ulcers, but we will. We have found over the years there are similarities in their presentation, symptoms and general outcomes - based on a few facts that appear to be constant.

Note: (All other wounds please use DermaWound Original unless you have specific iodine or benzocaine Allergies - See DermaWound Venous Stasis Hypo Allergenic Formula & DermaWound Original Hypo Allergenic Formula below.)

Venous Stasis Ulcers, of long standing duration (greater than one year) with a history will take considerably longer to recover than any other chronic non-healing wounds. This is unfortunately the nature of the hardest wound in the world to heal.

In General: the older the Venous Stasis Ulcer; the more complicated the history of the legs or ankles; and the heavier the client - the longer it will take. The more recent Venous Stasis Ulcer in a non-obese individual with non-complicated history will behave more like the average chronic wound.

If you have a Venous Stasis ulcer that is larger than the size of an adult hand and you have had it a number of years (or more than one), expect it to get a bit larger, yet shallower, in the beginning. Expect it to drain (length of time averages between 2-6 weeks), while the body attempts to flush out the deeply imbedded infection. Once it stops draining, it will be relatively flat, and will then start to slowly close from the outside in. How long it takes to heal is directly related to the age and size of the wound as well as the clients weight. If you have an ulcer that wraps around your leg or ankle, please call the Wound Care Support Hotline before ordering for special suggestions.

Made of the same quality natural ingredients as DermaWound Original, but less irritating, due to the extreme sensitivtiy of these ulcers.
Also contains Benzocaine, a topical anesthetic, for these uniquely painful and sensitive wounds/ulcers.

DermaWound VS is suggested for Venous Stasis, Sickle Cell, Scleroderma and Auto-Immune ulcers that are painful even to the air! If you or someone you know has not had a good nights sleep in years suffering from one of these four conditions, this is the solution you / they have been praying for!

If you are a Vascular Surgeon, DermaWound VS will clean, debride and help heal these ulcers so surgery, angioplasty or ablation may be performed to improve blood flow and/or reduce venous pooling,
if deemed necessary.

3. DermaWound Venous Stasis Hypo Allergenic Formula is another specialty formula and is only for persons with a known sensitivity or allergy to Iodine who otherwise would use the DermaWound VS formula - as it still contains Benzocaine for much needed additional pain relief. (Again... Venous Stasis, Sickle Cell, Scleroderma and Auto-Immune ulcers only.)

4. DermaWound Original Hypo Allergenic Formula is yet another specialty formula and is only for persons with a known sensitivity or allergy to Benzocaine and/or Iodine who otherwise would use the DermaWound Original or DermaWound Venous Stasis (VS) formulas.
