EctoSeal P2G™
The transforming wound care base that produces a unique tissue-protective, microbiome-supportive film.
Overview
Developed using extremolytes and a prebiotic, EctoSeal P2G quickly transforms from a powder to a hydrogel when moistened, enabling easy application to any type of wound.
The hydrogel forms a protective film that seamlessly adheres to the wound, improving moisturization and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) contact time — characteristics known to be ideal for wound care preparations.
Its ability to quickly transform from a protective film back to a hydrogel when remoistened makes wound cleaning easier and less painful for patients. And because EctoSeal P2G was developed using natural sources, it leaves no chemical residue.1-3
The versatility of EctoSeal P2G allows integration and use with a wide range of APIs, delivering personalized medicine tailored to a patient’s specific condition and need.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are EctoSeal P2G preparations for wounds only available with a prescription?
Yes. EctoSeal P2G was designed to work with antibiotics, antifungals and wound care formulations.
Can EctoSeal P2G be used for oral mucosa?
Yes. EctoSeal P2G can be used in any type of wound, including oral mucosa and surgical wounds.
Can EctoSeal P2G be used on animals?
Yes. EctoSeal P2G can be used in veterinary practices for animal patients.
Are there alternative wetting agents to Base C?
Yes. Alternative wetting agents for use with EctoSeal P2G include propylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, medium chain triglycerides (MCT) oil and glycerin. However, when using an alternate wetting agent, we found that friction increased during the EMP mixing, which resulted in a loud noise. If that occurs, we suggest mixing the preparation by hand vigorously in a beaker using a glass stir rod and milling if necessary. If milling is required, the preparation must be remixed before packaging.
Why do medicine cups need to be rinsed and cleaned immedately?
The adhesive properties of EctoSeal P2G hydrogel preparations may develop a type of “gluing” effect that can be challenging to remove. Rinsing the medicine cup immediately after use helps remove potential challenges.
How do the adhesive properties affect ointment mills?
The adhesive properties of EctoSeal P2G can begin forming a film, which may be more difficult to remove if allowed to stand. Therefore, we suggest immediately cleaning the ointment mill with soap and water.
Do the adhesive properties affect EMP jars and lids for hydrogel preparations?
Yes. If any hydrogel preparation remains on the jar’s threads or on the lid, it can make opening the jar more difficult. It can be opened but will require extra effort. We recommend cleaning the lid and jar’s threads before dispensing and advising patients to keep the threads clean after each use. In addition, some preparations stored in EMP jars may cause “sticking” around the edges of the EMP bottom plate, so more force may be required to eject the contents from the EMP jar when not in daily use.
