• Scar management 

Fibroheal products can be utilized for several types of wounds, comprising:

• Stop bleeding (External)
• Cuts and abrasions
• Lacerations
• Burns
• Surgical wounds
• Skin graft and donor sites
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Pressure ulcers (bed sores)
• Trauma wounds
• Chronic wounds
• Post operative wounds
• Scar management

They are suitable for mild to complex wounds based on the product used. 

Fibroheal products are indeed biocompatible, non-toxic, and manufactured in ISO 13485 and GMP-certified facilities, ensuring high safety and quality standards for medical use. However, medical supervision is recommended for use in certain cases, including:

• Severe or deep wounds – wounds that involve extensive tissue damage or are at high risk of infection.
• Infected wounds – active infections may require professional assessment before applying advanced wound care products.
• Chronic or non-healing wounds – such as diabetic foot ulcers or venous ulcers, which often need ongoing medical monitoring.
• Post-surgical wounds with complications – e.g., excessive bleeding, dehiscence, or delayed healing.
• Allergic or sensitive patients – individuals with known allergies to dressing materials or other components.
• Pediatric or geriatric patients – due to delicate skin or underlying health conditions.

This ensures safe, effective healing while minimizing the risk of complications.

Silk protein helps wound healing by:

• Supporting cell attachment and migration
• Promoting fibroblast growth and collagen production
• Maintaining a moist wound environment
• Encouraging tissue regeneration and faster wound closure

Yess, For minor wounds, Fibroheal dressings can be applied at home by following instructions given. ⚠️However, for complex, chronic, or post-surgical wound care, medical guidance is essential  to ensure proper care and avoid complications.

Yes. Fibroheal products are made using natural silk protein biomaterials, which are biodegradable and bio-absorbable. This makes them more environmentally sustainable compared with many synthetic wound care materials, reducing medical waste and supporting eco-friendly healthcare practices.

Silk-based wound dressings promote healing through multiple mechanisms:

• Maintain a moist environment: They create optimal conditions for faster wound healing.
• Matrix for cell growth: The silk protein acts as a scaffold, supporting tissue regeneration and cell attachment.
• Support angiogenesis and granulation: They encourage formation of new blood vessels and healthy granulation tissue.

Protect from contamination: The dressing shields the wound from external microbes and debris, reducing infection risk.

Yes. Fibroheal offers specialized dressings and antimicrobial wound care solutions for chronic wounds like diabetic foot ulcers. These products help control infection, manage exudate, and accelerate healing. For instance - D Fibroheal Ag Sprinkling Powder, D-Fibroheal Ag Particle, D-Fibroheal Ag Foam etc.

 Yes. Fibroheal post-operative dressings, made with silk protein and nano-silver, are designed to prevent infection, maintain optimal moisture, and support faster healing of surgical cuts and incisions. They are biocompatible and safe when used as directed under medical supervision.

Unlike conventional dressings, Fibroheal products are part of advanced wound care technology because they:

• Use bioengineered silk protein biomaterials that support tissue regeneration.
• Provide active healing support rather than just passive coverage.
• Promote cell growth and tissue repair, accelerating recovery.
• Offer antimicrobial protection and maintain optimal moisture balance.

These features make Fibroheal dressings more effective for faster, safer, and cleaner wound healing compared with traditional options.

 Fibroheal products are generally biocompatible and designed to be safe, but caution should be taken when using any wound care product in children or pregnant women.

• Children: Their skin and immune response can be more sensitive, so products should be used under the guidance of a pediatrician or healthcare professional.
• Pregnant women: Pregnancy can affect skin sensitivity and healing; it’s recommended to consult your healthcare provider before using any wound care product to ensure safety for both the mother and baby.

In both cases, a medical opinion helps determine the most appropriate dressing and treatment plan.

Healing times vary based on wound type, severity, and patient health. Some wounds may show improvement within a few days, while chronic wounds may take weeks. Regular monitoring and proper care are essential.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Check each product packaging for specific storage instructions.

Yes. Fibroheal is developed and manufactured in India by M/s Fibroheal Woundcare Pvt. Ltd., headquartered in Bengaluru (Bangalore), Karnataka. It is produced in an ISO 13485 and GMP-certified facility, serving more than 500+ hospitals across the nation. (fibroheal.com)
