Hospice Care Includes Maintaining a Positive Environment and
High Quality of Life. Cinesteam® Helps by Masking
Unpleasant Smells from Malodorous Wounds.
FORT
LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hospice care isn't always
consistent. NIH explains, "Many Americans die in facilities such as
hospitals or nursing homes receiving care that is not consistent
with their wishes." Part of the issue is the interdisciplinary
approach required to maintain proper care. Caregivers must look
beyond basic medical solutions and consider quality of life
elements for their patients, as well. Cinesteam® helps
caregivers address this more nuanced form of care through the
effective management of odors from malodorous wounds.
Tending to details is a critical element of quality hospice
care. Something as small as maintaining a fresh vase of flowers or
using the right number of pillows can make a difference. One area
that is often overlooked is smell. Unpleasant smells (called wound
malodors) can develop from anything from a fungating or tumoral
wound to an infected pressure ulcer or sore.
Cinesteam® is an innovative medical device that helps
effectively mask smells. The secondary dressing is applied on top
of a primary dressing (i.e., it doesn't come in contact with a
wound). It is filled with an adsorbent core and a sachet filled
with cinnamon powder, which is one of the best natural
deodorizers.
"We tried many different natural substances when developing the
product," explains Clémence Desjardin, Director of Operations and
Business Development at Cemag Care. "Cinnamon was by far the best
option due to its adsorbent properties and pleasant smell."
Through clinical trials, Desjardin and his team found that
cinnamon was on par with charcoal in its ability to capture
volatile organic compounds (VOCs). At the same time, it released
its own pleasant VOCs, making it superior to any alternative
natural substance as an odor-masking agent.
Hospice care is an activity focused on comfort and quality of
life. Odor control is part of that process, and
Cinesteam® is making it possible for patients and
caregivers to effectively manage a hospice care environment,
whether it is in a healthcare facility or on the home front.

over-the-counter medical solution that uses a single natural
ingredient (cinnamon) as a secondary dressing for those managing
malodorous wounds from tumors, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure
ulcers, and more. Cinesteam® effectively masks unwelcome
odors and improves quality of life. (It does not heal the wound
itself). The patented concept was developed from 2015 to 2019 and
