Fri Sep 13 00:36:00 UTC 2024: ## Wound Malodors Affect More Than Just Patients, Caregivers Suffer Too
**FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 13, 2024** – While wound malodors are a significant burden for patients, they also impact the well-being and ability of caregivers to provide optimal care, according to Cemag Care.
The company, which develops innovative wound care solutions, highlights that malodors arising from wounds can be caused by factors such as necrotic tissue, bacterial infections, and pus drainage. While patients understandably suffer the most, caregivers are often forgotten, enduring the same unpleasant smells, especially as they constantly enter and exit the spaces, hindering their ability to acclimate.
A study cited by CD Medical Ltd. revealed that malodors are the most distressing wound symptom, not just for patients, but for caregivers as well. Recognizing this shared burden, Cemag Care has introduced Cinesteam®, a secondary dressing utilizing cinnamon to effectively adsorb wound malodors.
“Cinesteam® is not just for patients,” says Clémence Desjardin, Director of Operations and Business Development at Cemag Care. “It is a medical device designed to clean the entire area around an individual, making it easier for nurses, doctors, and caregivers to tend to their duties with greater comfort and cheerfulness.”
The cinnamon-based solution is both safe and effective, capturing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with the efficiency of charcoal while emitting a pleasant aroma.
“No one should have to suffer from smells on top of everything else that goes into healing from or managing a chronic wound,” Desjardin adds. “With Cinesteam®, that is no longer an issue.”
Cinesteam®, a class one medical device, is available over-the-counter and is designed to improve quality of life for both patients and caregivers suffering from wound malodors.
