Wound Malodors Are a Common, Underserved
Area of Patient Care. Cinesteam's Breakthrough Secondary
Dressing Effectively Adsorbs Unwanted Smells.
FORT
LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Patient quality of life is an
important part of long-term care. However, the quality of life for
their caregivers is one area that is often unaddressed. Cinesteam's
secondary dressings are a practical solution that can improve a
caregiving environment, easing physical discomfort and
psychological distress by removing strong unwanted smells stemming
from chronic or infected wounds.
The Journal of Pain and Symptom Management reports that as much
as 30% of family caregivers experience significant
psychological distress while tending to a cancer patient in a
long-term care setting. Other reports find that 40% of caregivers
deal with serious conditions, such as mood swings, depression, and
resentment while tending to a patient's needs. Certain situations
can also lead to physical exhaustion, a weakened immune system, and
the development of a caregiver's own chronic health conditions.
The takeaway here is that caregivers go through a lot as they
care for their patients, and it is important to invest in
maintaining a peaceful and conducive environment, not just for a
patient to recover in but for their caregivers to operate within,
as well. This is a major benefit of Cinesteam's odor-control
secondary dressing.
"Cinesteam is the first natural-based dressing to manage and
reduce bad smells from malodorous wounds," explains Clémence
Desjardin, Director of Operations and Business Development at Cemag
Care. "It effectively masks smells by adsorbing unwanted odors and
replacing them with its own pleasant smells. This improves quality
of life, not just for patients but the people around them —
including caregivers."
Cinesteam's unique concept was initially developed by the head
of the wound cancer unit at Curie Institut in Paris. The elegant solution utilizes cinnamon
(which is scientifically proven to be a superior odor-control
agent) to control ongoing smells from fungating, chronic or
infected wounds. It puts caregivers back in control of a patient
care environment, helping them restore quality of life for their
charges and making their own jobs easier, as well. This eases
pressure, reduces stress, and helps caregivers stay capable and
focused on executing their tasks at a high level.
