An innovative product, originating from South Africa, has taken the medical world by storm and has brought relief to numerous patients battling with wounds of all kinds. The South African inventors discovered that the unique properties of a microporous ceramic are ideal for treating a wide range of acute and chronic wounds. The wound care product, known as Cerdak, has proved itself to be extremely effective and user friendly. The standard dressing consists of a sachet, about the size of a teabag, filled with ceramic granules and sealed in a sterile pouch. The sachet is placed on a wound, secured and replaced before fully saturated. The ceramic absorbs excess wound moisture in such a way that an ideal environment for natural wound healing is created. No chemical action takes place, therefore no allergic reaction can be caused. The natural and very safe way in which Cerdak works and the remarkable results obtained, is an answer to the present day demand for high quality, natural and affordable health products. The Cerdak Wound Healing Devices are available in different shapes and sizes and are applied with ease, be it by a neuro surgeon or a farm labourer. Wound bed preparation is the essence for fast, effective healing. Cerdak brings the next dimension to this concept: Removal of colony forming bacteria present in the wound moisture Removal of broken-down products that can retard healing and form a necrotic burden in chronic wounds Cyclic absorptive action, ensuring the presence of fresh healing factors and cellular elements essential for the healing process Control of exudate and its contents, leading to a controlled inflammatory response Bacterial and moisture balance on the wound bed The following results can only be achieved with a properly prepared wound bed: Healing against all odds Regeneration of tissue Minimising scar tissue Efficacy and economy Crowd control Surgical excellence
