The mechanism of action of ORS (Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose) Cream is primarily attributed to its ability to interact with the skin's surface and promote wound healing. When applied to the skin, ORS forms a protective barrier that helps maintain a moist environment, which is conducive to wound healing. The oxidized cellulose in ORS cream has hydrophilic properties, allowing it to absorb excess exudate from the wound while also providing a moist gel structure that facilitates the healing process. This moist environment promotes the migration of epithelial cells, which aids in the regeneration of the skin and the formation of new tissue. Additionally, ORS cream may help reduce inflammation and provide a protective barrier against bacterial contamination, further supporting the healing process and creating an optimal environment for wound repair.
