  • Oleogel-S10, a birch bark extract ointment, was tested in a clinical trial to assess its impact on wound healing in donor sites, focusing on healing time and scar quality over 3 and 12 months.
  • The study reported that patients using Oleogel-S10 experienced faster wound closure (median 7 days) compared to the control group (8 days) and exhibited better scar quality measurements throughout the follow-up period.
  • Additionally, Oleogel-S10 improved scar perfusion and viscoelastic properties, indicating its significant effectiveness in promoting healing at donor sites.
