Wound Care

Keratin is the key structural material making up the outermost layer of our skin. In addition to its vital role as a physical structure, research into keratin function at some of the world's leading medical universities has identified the crucial biological role that keratin proteins play in the wound healing process.

Keraplast’s Replicine keratin technology has captured, for the first time, the native form and function of keratin proteins.

Based on an extensive international research program, and a strong evidence base of efficacy in wound healing, Keraplast has developed three advanced wound healing products to deliver Replicine™ Functional Keratin™ technology to the wound bed and manage a broad range of wound types, including:

  • Pressure (stage I-IV) and venous stasis ulcers
  • Ulcers caused by mixed vascular etiologies
  • Diabetic Ulcers
  • Donor sites and grafts
  • First and second degree burns
  • Severe sunburns
  • Superficial injuries, cuts, abrasions and surgical wounds
