Xenaderm (Ointment) – Healthpoint
Description: Xenaderm is a vasodilator that promotes healing with a non-petrolatum base that provides a fluid repealing barrier.
Indications: Xenaderm is appropriate for partial thickness wounds, perineal wounds, and radiation skin reactions (Healthpoint, 2008).
Authors notes:
1. Xenaderm is particulary useful for difficult to dress incontinence-related skin injuries.
2. Xenaderm may cause rashes in a limited population of patients.
3. Keep the Xenaderm ointment on the wound bed (as much as possible) and don’t use as a barrier cream. Xenaderm placed on normal skin will often cause a reddened inflammatory response, that will subside in a few days with discontinuation of the product.
