Wound Care Solutions

Virbac has extended its long-renowned excellence in dermatological care into wound care, thanks to an advanced technology that supports the natural tissue repair process in dogs and cats. We employ this technology to transform hyaluronan, a pivotal component in cell migration and wound healing, into a cross-linked gel specifically for wound care.¹

Cross-linking makes our REMEND™ brand of products more stable and longer-lasting than naturally occurring hyaluronan. As a result, it provides an additional level of support to the healing process and prolongs the environment conducive to cell movement and growth.^2-4 To find out more about how cross-linking enhances wound healing, watch this video.
