Aurix Gel: Advanced Wound Healing Technology
What is Aurix Gel?
Aurix™ is a revolutionary biodynamic hematogel that harnesses a patient’s innate healing mechanisms to jumpstart the natural healing process for a broad range of chronic non-healing wounds[3]. This innovative wound care system utilizes the patient’s own blood to create a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) gel, offering a personalized approach to wound treatment[3]. https://druckerdiagnostics.com/drucker-diagnostics-enters-the-wound-care-market-with-nuo-therapeutics/?srsltid=AfmBOooXbeFSjyIW61c-acvrmUOGuq6V-MvS2zQZtpTGctv5vtSr7BOx
How Aurix Gel Works
The Aurix System follows a simple, yet effective process:
- A small blood sample is taken from the patient
- The Aurix System prepares the PRP gel at the point of care
- The PRP gel is applied directly to the wound
- The patient’s platelets are activated, jumpstarting the body’s natural healing process
Benefits of Aurix Gel
Aurix gel offers several advantages for wound healing:
- Accelerates healing of chronic wounds
- Suitable for a variety of wound types
- Effective for exuding wounds and those that are mechanically or surgically debrided
- Utilizes the patient’s own healing factors
Types of Wounds Treated
Aurix gel is particularly effective for chronic non-healing wounds, including:
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Venous leg ulcers
- Pressure injuries
Clinical Evidence
The effectiveness of Aurix gel is supported by robust clinical evidence:
- Peer-reviewed studies demonstrate its efficacy in treating chronic ulcers[1]
- Randomized controlled trials have evaluated its effectiveness for diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and pressure ulcers[1][2]
In a pragmatic randomized controlled trial, Aurix gel showed a significant time-to-heal advantage, with 48.5% of wounds healing compared to 30.2% with usual care[1].
Where Aurix Gel is Used
Aurix gel is utilized in various healthcare settings, including:
- Outpatient wound centers
- Veterans Affairs hospitals
- Long-term acute care facilities
It is always applied under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional[3].
