Palliative Care Is a Comprehensive Approach to Long-Term Patient
Care. Caregivers Can Use Cinesteam®'s Secondary Dressings to
Improve Quality of Life in Palliative Care Settings.
FORT
LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Palliative care is a key
aspect of recovery for many patients. Unlike hospice care (which is
designed to maintain comfort and quality of life for a terminally
ill patient), palliative care seeks to ease discomfort during a
lengthy medical procedure, complement a healing process, or help
manage long-term medical symptoms.
Quality palliative care involves an interdisciplinary approach
to treatment that considers the holistic needs of a patient. Mayo
Clinic explains the various care techniques that can help with
this, saying, "These may include breathing techniques, healing
touch, meditation, visualization or simply listening to music with
headphones." One aspect that is often left out of that list is
wound care smell. Cinesteam® secondary dressings can play a key
role in the process of managing these unwanted smells during
long-term care.
"Many patients are unaware of the fact that malodorous wounds
can create unpleasant odors—that is, until they're faced with the
smells during recovery," explains Clémence Desjardin. The Director
of Operations and Business Development at Cemag Care adds, "Once a
wound begins creating a smell, it is in the best interest of a
patient's quality of life for caregivers to ameliorate those
symptoms. Our secondary dressings offer a quick, effective solution
that uses a natural compound as its primary active ingredient."
Cinesteam® is a secondary dressing. (I.e., it is placed over a
primary dressing and does not come in direct contact with a wound).
The medical device contains an innovative design that features an
adsorbent core and a cinnamon sachet that help to both capture
unwanted volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and release cinnamon's
own natural aroma in exchange. This effectively masks the smells of
malodorous wounds. Regardless of whether those unwanted smells come
from a fungating wound bed or an infected bed pressure ulcer,
Cinesteam® helps maintain a higher quality of life for those in the
midst of a lengthy round of palliative care.
