Linovera®

Linovera® to promote skin health

Chronic wounds are a major global medical concern,¹ significantly impacting patients’ quality of life,² while also affecting close family and relatives. Chronic wounds also cause considerable financial burden³ on the healthcare system and society.

Topical preventive measures such as Linovera® oil are needed to avoid higher healthcare expenditures and preserve patients’ health. They can be used with the goal of promoting integrity of the skin and providing essential moisturizing.⁴

HOFA-containing topical formulations have become an ideal therapeutic option that is part of the clinical protocols for nursing action in the prevention and treatment of ulcers.⁵

Linovera® is a skin care oil composed of:

• Hyperoxygenated fatty acids (HOFA) originated from sunflower oil naturally rich in linoleic acid,⁶ an essential fatty acid important in the maintenance of epidermal integrity and the natural skin’s water barrier.⁷ Some of the HOFA properties can increase skin resistance, reduce dehydration, reduce friction and pressure forces⁸ and improve microcirculation.⁹
• Vegetable extracts formulated to provide additional benefits such as skin conditioning, humectant, and tonic, enhancing the activity of the product.

Thanks to its content of HOFA and vegetable extracts, Linovera® oil can be useful in the prevention of skin breakdown (e.g. prevention of stage 1 pressure ulcers) or in the management of already impaired skin,^8,10 helping to provide the best care for your patients.
