Why is Laser-SealTM superior to ointments?
A. Ointments require a significant time commitment by your patient since they are constantly reapplying, sometimes as many as 15 times per day. Ointments are typically very messy as they will rub off on everything they come in contact with (i.e. clothes, hair, pillows, etc.). Finally, there is a risk that during the night, the wound area may begin to dry out while the patient sleeps which will prolong the recovery time and impact the appearance of the healed wound.
