Main Mechanism
Antibacterial Action: Tribromophenol bismuth has strong antibacterial properties that inhibit the growth of bacteria in the wound. It is particularly effective against anaerobic bacteria and is commonly used for infected wounds to control infection and promote wound cleanliness.
Anti-inflammatory Action: Tribromophenol bismuth has anti-inflammatory effects that help reduce inflammation around the wound, alleviating swelling, redness, and pain, thereby promoting comfort during the healing process.
Promoting Wound Healing: By clearing pathogens and reducing inflammation, tribromophenol bismuth dressings help the wound heal more quickly in a moist environment. A moist environment accelerates the growth of new tissue and promotes cell regeneration.
Debridement: Tribromophenol bismuth helps remove necrotic tissue or debris from the wound, preventing the wound from becoming necrotic or accumulating pus. This helps keep the wound clean and reduces the risk of infection.
Protective Action: The physical properties of the dressing (such as the base material) help protect the wound from external mechanical irritation or contamination, while also reducing the exposure of the wound to the external environment, lowering the risk of further infection.
