Cinesteam® is a cinnamon-based non-adhesive absorbent secondary dressing for malodorous wounds.
Cinesteam® is an innovative medical device for the management of malodorous wounds. It is a spice-containing anti-odor dressing: it contains cinnamon which has the property of adsorbing bad odors and releasing pleasant smells.
It consists of an absorbent layer together with a sachet containing cinnamon.
The cinnamon powder used in the Cinesteam® dressing was selected from several varieties for its specific olfactory & adsorption properties after multiple sensory perception tests and chemical analysis.
Cinesteam® was developed to:
- Help patients regain self-esteem
- Alleviate caregivers and relatives from the burden of strong malodours
The design of Cinesteam®, based on the natural properties of cinnamon, was developed to allow the absorption of exudates, the adsorption of bad odors, and the release of a pleasant cinnamon fragrance to improve the lives of people and carers.
