Reparil-Gel N Madaus, 100 g

What is meant by a bruise?

A bruise is a blunt injury caused by a shock, impact, fall or fall without any visible skin injury.Such injuries can limit the mobility of the affected body part.A bruise occurs when skin, fatty tissue or muscles are squeezed, which can lead to swelling, bruising and inflammation.These processes cause unpleasant pain.Blunt injuries usually heal without consequences if they are treated early and specifically.Depending on the severity of the injury, healing time can range from a few days to several weeks.

First aid for blunt injuries - The PECH-rule

In the event of a blunt injury, the PECH-rule has proven to be a quick and recommended first aid.The PECH-rule states:

P: Take a break and avoid further stress or sporting activities.

E: Apply ice or cold spray for quick cooling.

C: Compression: Applying a pressure bandage with moderate pressure to prevent swelling.

H: Elevate the injured area to decrease blood flow, promote lymphatic drainage, and reduce swelling.

Mode of action

Reparil®-Gel N Madaus provides relief with its unique active ingredient composition.It has a decongestant, anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effect.Aescin (horse chestnut extract) in a skin-permeable form reduces water accumulation in the tissue and leads to tissue swelling.Local swellings that cause a feeling of heaviness and tension pain are quickly eliminated and inflammatory processes are effectively combated. DEAS (diethylamine salicylate) increases the anti-inflammatory effect and has a particularly deep, pain-relieving effect.
