Contractubex® Gel, 50 g

Contractubex® Gel

Contractubex® Gel actively supports the healing process of scars.The active ingredients onion extract, heparin and allantoin penetrate deep into the scar tissue and help reduce scarring.The result is an almost invisible scar.As soon as the wound is closed and the scab has fallen off, the application of the scar gel can begin.Starting treatment early can have a positive effect on scar development and prevent excessive scar tissue.After just a few weeks of use, the first visible results can be achieved, such as the reduction of redness, swelling and itching as well as a more elastic and flatter scar.

Contractubex® Gel can be used on both fresh and older scars to achieve a more even appearance.No prescription is required for this product.

Area of application

Contractubex® Gel is used for enlarged, bulging, movement-restricting and visually disturbing scars after operations, amputations, burns and accidents.It is also suitable for joint stiffness, such as Dupuytren's contracture, as well as tendon contractures and scar shrinkage caused by injuries.The application takes place after the wound has closed.

Mode of action

Contractubex® Gel uses a combination of three active ingredients to support the skin in healing after injuries and to counteract significant scarring.

Onion extract (Extractum cepae) has a decongestant and bactericidal effect.It prevents bacteria from entering the wound or scar and prevents inflammation.It also ensures that no bulging scar tissue forms and the scar remains smooth and inconspicuous.

Heparin has anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effects.It loosens the tissue structure of the scar and promotes water retention in the scar tissue.This promotes blood circulation even in older and hardened scars.

Allantoin improves the absorption of the other active ingredients by the skin.It acts as a messenger and transports heparin and onion extract into the deeper layers of the skin.Allantoin also promotes wound healing and reduces irritation, making any itching of the scar more bearable or disappearing.
