Linovera® Emulsion
Linovera® Emulsion to fight chronic wounds

Chronic wounds are a major global medical concern,1 significantly impacting patients’ quality of life,2 while also affecting close family and relatives. Chronic wounds also cause considerable financial burden3 on the healthcare system and society.

Topical preventive measures such as Linovera® Emulsion are needed to avoid higher healthcare expenditures and preserve patients’ health. They can be used with the goal of promoting integrity of the skin and providing essential moisturizing.4

HOFA-containing topical formulations have become an ideal therapeutic option that is part of the clinical protocols for nursing action in the prevention and treatment of ulcers.5

Linovera® Emulsion is a light emulsion moisturizing cream composed of:

  • Hyperoxygenated fatty acids (HOFA) originated from sunflower oil naturally rich in linoleic acid,6 an essential fatty acid important in the maintenance of epidermal integrity and the natural skin’s water barrier.7 Some of the HOFA properties can increase skin resistance, reduce dehydration, reduce friction and pressure forces8 and improve microcirculation.9  
  • Vegetable extracts formulated to provide additional benefits such as skin conditioning, humectant and tonic, enhancing the activity of the product.

How Linovera® Emulsion can be used

Thanks to its content of HOFA and vegetable extracts, Linovera® Emulsion can be useful in the prevention of skin breakdown (e.g. pressure ulcers, vascular ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers) or in the management of already impaired skin8,10 helping to provide the best care for your patients.

With its creamy consistency, Linovera® Emulsion is easy to apply on large body areas, such as limbs and feet11.

Composition

  • Hyperoxygenated fatty acids derived from sunflower oil (emollient)
  • Aloe Barbadensis extract (skin conditioning, emollient, humectant)
