MAGNOPLASM PASTE 100G

Magnoplasm paste is a drawing ointment containing glycerol and dried magnesium sulfate. The glycerol acts as a humectant which means it attracts water to itself and magnesium sulphate works via osmosis. The magnesium sulfate is dried so does not contain any water and when applied to the skin exhibits a strong osmotic effect and glycerol is hygroscopic, meaning it has a strong affinity for water and thus will draw out moisture from the inflamed area (as well as the atmosphere).

The magnesium sulphate glycerol paste is an effective treatment for boils, whitlows and carbuncles. It is also frequently used to remove splinters, thorns and other imbedded foreign bodies

Directions

Magnoplasm paste is spread (about 5mm thick) on the inflamed area needing treatment and then covered with a non-adhesive dressing. This bandage is then changed after 12 to 24 hours. It can be applied cold, straight from the tub or warmed to aid spreading.

Magnoplasm paste may need to be reapplied and the process repeated if the problem persists. If necessary to warm the product, first warm a glass jar/cup, then place the required amount of Magnoplasm in it. The warmth of the jar should help loosen the Magnoplasm and make it easier to apply. Alternatively, warm gently in hand or put tub in warm water, making sure the water level is a little below the cap (so water does not get into it).

Do not heat the Magnoplasm itself though (i.e. do not microwave). Products tend to deteriorate at higher temperatures.

Magnoplasm paste should not be applied on newly granulated areas to avoid over granulation and excessive scarring.

Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist see your health care professional.
