What does it do?

Dextrose is a component belonging to the carbohydrate group, primarily used for wound treatment. It plays a role in preventing infection and aiding healing by applying it to the wound area.

Dextrose creates a high osmotic environment in the wound area, making it difficult for bacteria to grow. It also maintains the moist condition of the wound, promoting the natural healing process.
