Cinesteam's Innovative Secondary Wound Dressings Are an OTC Option That Uses Cinnamon To Effectively Reduce Unpleasant Wound Odors

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cinesteam^® is a revolutionary medical product designed to address the smells associated with malodorous wounds. The product utilizes cinnamon in a unique format that was developed and extensively tested from 2015 to 2019 and CE Marked 2020, followed by a launch in France and other European countries. It is currently in the process of entering the U.S. marketplace, as well, and should be available in the coming months.

There are many complications that come from various bodily wounds. Along with medical concerns, one common issue is smell.

"Bacteria from infection, drainage, necrosis, poor hygiene — there are many reasons a wound can come to have an unpleasant smell," says Clémence Desjardin, Director of Operations and Business Development at Cemag Care. "When that happens, it can take an already undesirable situation, medically speaking, and make it even worse for the patient and those around them."

Desjardin adds that wound odor, also referred to as malodorous wounds, is associated with many different medical conditions. Those managing tumoral wounds, leg ulcers, diabetic foot, and even bedsores and burns can develop odors over time. That's where Cinesteam^® can make a difference.

"Cinesteam^® is the first natural-based dressing to manage and reduce bad smells from malodorous wounds," explains Desjardin. The executive is quick to clarify that this doesn't directly improve the healing process. Instead, the product is a secondary dressing that specifically addresses smells and, consequentially, improves quality of life.

Cinesteam^® uses a uniquely delivered form of cinnamon. This active substance is packaged in a manner that can absorb unpleasant odors while releasing its own more agreeable aroma. This is done without making direct contact with the wound itself — which is important as it keeps the wound clean and unaffected by the odor treatment. It also doesn't have the negative side effects of strong oral medications designed to eliminate odor from the inside.

Cinesteam^® reduces smells and makes it possible for patients to regain a sense of self-esteem and comfort. Regardless of whether they're managing something as simple as a burn or as major as cancer treatment, it gives them the ability to engage in social settings, host visitors, and otherwise enjoy their surroundings without concern that unpleasant olfactory elements will cause revulsion or embarrassment. Cinesteam® is a natural tool that helps patients, along with their caregivers and loved ones, by restoring a sense of ease and peace as they go through medical processes and procedures of all kinds.
