Recently, a brand-new research strategy has emerged to support the tissue regeneration process during repair to damaged skin.
It consists of applying biocompatible and biodegradable materials on lesions, promoting cellular migration and neocolonisation and the high mobilisation of growth factors, which are biological substances essential to this process.
This innovative approach has been one of the main focuses of Silab’s advanced research laboratories for several years. To manage this ambitious research programme and see it through to completion, Silab has two necessary and complementary internal assets which are know-how in the production of natural biopolymer matrices and extensive expertise in cutaneous biology.
The first phase of this project was formalised in 2007, with the marketing of Glyco-Repair. This biomolecule, a genuine network of natural oligo-galactomannans, stimulates the migratory potential of the skin cells and the endogenous production of key growth factors in the skin repair process. Studies undertaken in vivo have confirmed that this active ingredient accelerates the reconstruction of damaged skin and helps restore its essential functions.
The next phase of this project will be implemented soon with the marketing of a new technology which will provide an innovative approach to cutaneous regeneration by significantly improving the reorganisation of matrices.
