Redefining Wound Healing

Calming overactive inflammation with zwitterionic technology that kickstarts the body’s natural wound healing.

The Problem is LARGER Than You Think!

Overactive inflammation impairs the body’s natural healing process, resulting in chronic wounds not healing.

CleraFlex^TM

Introducing the first and only stretchable zwitterionic wound dressing with alternating positive and negative charges indicated to heal the most difficult chronic, surgical and burn wounds.

Proven Science. Backed by Innovation.

GelSana’s proprietary zwitterionic technology was designed to be the primary wound dressing to replace most others as it creates a protective barrier supporting the natural wound healing process with calmed inflammation, supporting healthy blood flow, balancing moisture and preventing bacteria from sticking to the surface.
