Unique combination of hyaluronic acid and amino acids in the management of patients with a range of moderate-to-severe chronic wounds: Evidence from international clinical trials

Abstract

Chronic wounds present a prolonged burden to patients, their families and healthcare systems. There is evidence that the unique combination of hyaluronic acid (HA) and amino acids (Vulnamin®) promotes re-epithelialization of wounds and stimulates activation and proliferation of fibroblasts with a significant increase in the regeneration of epithelial cells. Tissue regeneration and tissue repair are considered to be the fundamental activities of this unique combination of HA and amino acids that distinguishes it from other wound healing products. A review of trials over the last 15 years indicates distinct advantages of the unique combination of HA and amino acids, in terms of healing rate and induction of granulation tissue production compared with HA alone.
