Miracle creams to heal wounds...

OK, hope this is not seen as deliberate advertising. You have asked so I will tell.

I work for a company that manufactures activated carbon cloth and activated carbon wound dressings both with and without silver. Just recently one of our clients has launched Meditek Silver which is an activated carbon wound dressing containing silver, specifically for the vetreinary market. These dressings are showing fantastic results when used on wounds that are infected or are proving difficult to heal. Vets trialling these dressings are commenting on the reduction in wounds developing granulation tissue. However, these dressings won't be available until the end of the month. The website for the dressings is www.fabteksolutions.com

If there are any vets reading this and would like to trial the dressings then please send me a pm.
 
Acticoat is a good dressing but I can't handle any exudate I just tried looking for a pic of my girls massive hoof wound from last yr I talked the vet into letting me use my then employers dressing and when it came off it was a mirror image of the wound, so it didn't make the rest of the hoof soggy, the vet was seriously impressed shame they don't make it for the vet Market! I'll see if it's on my computer and post it
 
Gold Label Wonder Gel, you can stick it on practically anything, heals and sooths, contains calendula, tea tree oil, comfrey, rosemary oil and aloe vera to aid the natural healing process and encourags the hair to grow back,

Not a gunky cream, the wound drys out as the gel melts into the skin, great on sores, chapped skin, mud fever etc, every tack box should have a bottle.
 
Depending on the wound and location; Flamazine, Aluspray or Equiaide. Very ocassionally use Camrosa.
 
Thanks for ALL your replies!!!
Have bought a pot of the cream Laura suggested.. and a load of normal Melolin pads to dress it with...

With all these wonder dressings that some of you are suggesting.. how do they work with the various creams that you might put on a wound.. ie are they best used to dress a wound on their own, as any cream you might use might counteract the properties of the dressing itself, or is it a case of every little helps...

Flamazine - topical cream, have also syringed it into puncture wounds to promote healing/prevent proud flesh. No problems bandging over the top if neccesary (Use melonin dressing)

Equiaide - topical, don't bandage over as it dries out and forms a seal over the wound. Very good for drying up and closing wounds.

Aluspray - just spray on!

That's another to add to the list as soon as it comes out then, thankyou for the reply... i don't think it's advertising as it was a response to a question.
really good to know, thankyou.
 
With the newer dressing u just use them to regulate the wounds moisture and creams are not needed! Also the thinking is that u should only use saline (not hibiscrub) and when u clean between dressing u should try not to disturb the wound bed as there will be invisible healing going on, if I can find some vids to demonstrate I'll post them later
 
MM's cod liver oiland honey tulle dressings, pm me for their address.

We have healed wounds normally needing plastic surgery according to the vet, a tin costs about £14 and holds at least 20.
You leave one on at least 48 hours for best effect.
 
There was a guy a tdown today advertising something that looked amazing (vetrobac or something - it's on 'the back cover of h&h today). Looked incredible.
 
I totally feel your pain Soap did a silly OR about 2 months ago and it's ONLY JUST started to be almost healed!!!

My vet used the black granuals (silver I think?...) and cauterised it to prevent proud flesh , i vet wrapped with a pad for ages, but eventually because he was hating being kept in I gave in and let him go out with it smothered in vaselene to stop mud getting in it.

Miracle creams I have used are from the vet Dermasol and from Boots Germolene, it seems odd to use germolene but it's fab stuff and a slight anaesthetic too so fab if they are a bit sore on it

Chloe, i mentioned using Savlon and Germolene to my vet, who laughed and got me a huge tub of Potters Pink ointment from her car... it is Germolene, in a big white tub, same colour, same unmistakable smell, but a LOT cheaper than in a small tube from Boots... ;) ;)

afaik medical-grade Manuka honey is miraculous, i've not used it though.
beware using honey in summer, i used it in desperation to heal post-sarcoids and my poor mare got badly stung on the leg by bees (obv attracted by the smell), and I thought she'd totally done a leg... I nearly had heart failure.
i have a variety of different potions but never found that any are markedly quicker than others tbh... i swear by Aluspray if you can get it though.
hope you get it sorted, how frustrating.

yes, Intrasite is fantastic but it can produce proud flesh if you keep using it for too long, my vets warned me of that, it's for getting a hollow wound to fill out with flesh, kind of thing. I always have it here but rarely use it.

Yes Manuka Honey-keep it in the first aid kit. Brilliant for horses, humans, dogs cats. Need to get 15+ UMF strength I think for best results. I believe (and not 100% sure) I heard that there are racehorse trainers who swear by it for cuts, and wounds. Internal or external; very good too for tooth ache and IBS!! (I know, that wasnt the OP's query, just put that in for another dimension....). Get mine from manukahoney.co.uk. Good luck.
