Cinesteam®

Wound Odour could lead to embarrassment & isolation

Wound odour introduces discomfort, strained family relationships, and reduced care time.
Studies show that up to 78% of patients with chronic wounds report odour as the most distressing symptom, leading to social avoidance, loss of appetite, and diminished self-worth.

Families often struggle with the emotional toll, and public interactions become daunting.

Odour control isn’t just about hygiene—it’s about restoring dignity, enabling connection, and supporting holistic healing.
