Malaysian fish extract used to make wound dressing spray

Posted On: August 11, 2012

Water extract from the Haruan fish in Malaysia has proved safe and effective for healing incision and burn wounds.

Haruan is a popular fish to eat in Malaysia and is thought to have wound healing properties due to the abundance of fatty and amino acids, which help blood clotting and reduce pain. When prepared as fillets, researchers cook the fish using distilled water in a pressure cooker. The fillets are discarded and the water extract left over is compounded into an aerosol spray.
