How it works

Oxoferin solution (sterile) acts by stimulating the immune system of the body and that is why it is also known as IMMUNOMODULATOR. When applied topically Oxoferin solution (sterile) is absorbed rapidly both by wound surface and border area. Oxoferin solution (sterile) combines with the haem part of haemoglobin, myoglobin and peroxidase, forming a TCDO-haem complex, this in turn activates the macrophages and accelerates the process of Phagocytosis. This process of phagocytosis engulfs all the pathogens present on the surface of the wound including the cell debris, thus cleans the wound surface, a prerequisite for Regenerative Phase. Oxoferin solution (sterile) also helps in the Regenerative Phase by giving rise to two impulses, namely Mitogenic and Chemotactic. The mitogenic impulse gives rise to two factors, MDGF (Macrophage derived growth factor) and WAF (Wound angiogenesis factor). The MDGF causes the proliferation of fibroblasts resulting in an increased synthesis of collagen, the basic material for new granulation tissue to fill gaps of wounds. The WAF causes endothelial cells to proliferate and to form new capillaries resulting in the vascularisation of the new granulation tissue. The chemotactic impulse acts on the myocyte(muscle cell) and causes it to contract, thereby reducing the wounds surface. All these three factors are influencing the regenerative phase simultaneously and thus accelerate the wound healing with minimal scarring.
