Active ingredients

Contractubex^® contains three complementary active ingredients:

Extractum cepae:
has anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties and prevents the formation of excessive scar tissue.

Heparin:
softens the tissue structure, has anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling properties, supports cell and tissue regeneration and is able to bind water to the scar tissue.

Allantoin:
encourages wound healing and has a softening effect, promotes penetration through the skin and relieves the itching often associated with scar formation.

Contractubex^® has proved highly effective in treating scars for many years. The results that can be achieved are well worth the patience the treatment requires: a nearly invisible scar.
