Maintains a moist environment to prevent scab formation. Allows epithelial cells to migrate across the wound, multiply and enhance healing. Encourages wounds to heal from the sides as well as the bottom. Helps produce new epithelial cells that are identical to those lost. Provides thermal insulation and a bacterial barrier. Excellent wound dressing for horses, especially where bandaging is not possible due to location or extension of the wound. Provides dogs and cats support following trauma or surgeries, where a primary wound closure is not possible. Ointment is useful for large external areas. Spray is useful for wounds that are in a location of high mobility, such as joints.
