L-Mesitran‚ activates the wound healing process. Within this natural process an inflammatory phase is inevitable. This phase is crucial in order to cleanse the wound of dead tissue and micro-organisms. This inflammatory phase is characterized by the fact that the blood vessels surrounding the wound, supply more blood to the wound area; hence the reddish colour. Also a slight pain sensation and / or swelling is part of the natural process observed.
L-Mesitran‚ in a sense increases the blood flow to the wound area. This reaction will be visible within twelve hours of application of the ointment. It will be more vivid when necrotic tissue and/or fibrin is present in the wound. The reddish colour ring will disappear usually within four to five days. The reddish ring is therefore in a sense the prove that L-Mesitran‚ activates the wound healing process.
