General Questions
Keragel is a topical gel enriched with pharmaceutical grade keratin protein that delivers Replicine™ Bioactive Keratin directly to the wound while maintaining a moisture rich environment.
Replicine™ Bioactive Keratin is derived from a proprietary manufacturing process that carefully extracts keratin protein from sheep’s wool, fully intact. By maintaining the form and function of the protein, as well as its bioactivity – the main factor needed for healing, this technology controls the molecule, creating a versatile biopolymer material that can be formed into a liquid gel or solid.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

- Ensure that the skin surrounding the wound is dry.
- To open the tube, use the piercer cap to break the nozzle seal. To ensure sterility, sanitize the piercer cap before use.

General Instructions
Indications
Keragel® is designed for full and partial thickness wounds with dry to medium exudate, such as:
- Venous leg ulcers
- Arterial ulcers
- Diabetic ulcers
- Pressure ulcers
- Skin graft donor sites
- First and second-degree burns
- Superficial injuries, cuts, abrasions and surgical wounds
Storage
Keragel® should be stored in dry conditions between 32 degrees and 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
Improved wound healing
keragel® has demonstrated faster epithelialization rates and more robust skin after healing in numerous clinical studies. In vitro studies have shown that Replicine™ Functional Keratin® increases the rates of proliferation and migration of keratinocyte cells (which play a key role in epithelialization) and that the migrating keratinocytes express increased levels of collagen 4 and collagen 7 which are critical for basal membrane integrity.
This means keragel® can speed healing, improve the healed outcome and reduce cost of care in the following treatment areas:
- Chronic Wound Care
- Scar Management
- Burn Treatment
- Skin Tears
