Wounds can develop odors due to the presence of necrotic tissue and fungating and bacterial infections.

These release odors that can decrease the quality of life of both patients and their caregivers. Wound malodors can isolate individuals through embarrassment and can have a serious impact beyond the scope of an original injury or chronic wound.

In response to this common concern, Cinesteam® has developed an innovative device by the same name. The solution uses a unique odor-control secondary dressing with, among other things, an adsorbent core and cinnamon powder sachet.
