It combines hyaluronic acid with bacterial collagenase and is used to prepare the wound bed in chronic wounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 18px 0;\"\u003eThe two components work on different parts of the problem. The collagenase breaks down non-viable tissue, assisting wound bed preparation. The hyaluronic acid holds moisture at the wound site and helps protect newly formed tissue, since repair happens more readily in a moist environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 28px 0;\"\u003eThe collagenase used in Hyalo4 START is 99% pure and derived from a non-pathogenic strain of \u003cem\u003eVibrio alginolyticus\u003c\/em\u003e. Because it contains no non-specific protease, its action is confined to non-viable tissue and it does not irritate the skin surrounding the wound. The ointment is fluid and smooth, which makes application straightforward and comfortable for the patient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold; color: #1a9b8f; margin: 0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eIndications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 10px 0;\"\u003eHyalo4 START is indicated for the local treatment of chronic wounds, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul style=\"margin: 0 0 28px 0; padding-left: 22px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003ePressure injuries\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eVascular leg ulcers\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eDiabetic ulcers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold; color: #1a9b8f; margin: 0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003col style=\"margin: 0 0 28px 0; padding-left: 22px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eClean and disinfect the wound before treatment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003eEnsure the wound bed is adequately moist.
