Braun Linovera Oil is a topical skin care formulation containing hyperoxygenated fatty acids (HOFA) derived from linoleic acid-rich sunflower oil, combined with Centella asiatica extract, Aloe vera, rosemary extract, and tocopherols (vitamin E). It is designed to improve cutaneous microcirculation, reduce transepidermal water loss, and decrease friction and pressure forces on vulnerable skin. Linovera is indicated for prevention of Stage I pressure injuries over bony prominences and for management of dehydrated, fragile, or compromised peristomal and peri-wound skin.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLinovera Oil is manufactured by B. Braun Melsungen AG and is part of B. Braun's wound management and skin integrity portfolio. The formulation centres on hyperoxygenated fatty acids (HOFA) obtained from sunflower oil naturally enriched in linoleic acid, an essential omega-6 fatty acid that serves as a precursor to ceramides in the stratum corneum. When applied topically, HOFA has been shown in clinical literature to enhance local microcirculation, strengthen the skin's lipid barrier, and reduce the mechanical coefficient of friction between skin and support surfaces — a key factor in pressure injury prevention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oil is supplemented with Centella asiatica (also known as Gotu Kola), a botanical extract with documented wound-healing properties attributed to its triterpene saponins (asiaticoside and madecassoside), which stimulate collagen synthesis and fibroblast proliferation. Aloe vera provides additional moisturising and anti-inflammatory activity, while rosemary extract and tocopherols contribute antioxidant protection against oxidative stress in compromised skin. The 50 ml bottle features a dosing pump for precise, hygienic application without direct skin contact with the bottle aperture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"8\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB.

When applied topically, HOFA integrate into the skin's lipid matrix, improving the structural integrity of the stratum corneum and enhancing local capillary microcirculation. Published clinical evidence, including studies referenced in EPUAP\/NPIAP pressure injury prevention guidelines, supports their role in reducing the incidence of Stage I pressure injuries when applied prophylactically to at-risk skin areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Linovera Oil be applied to open wounds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLinovera Oil is primarily indicated for intact skin at risk of breakdown and for Stage I pressure injuries (non-blanchable erythema without skin break). It is not indicated as a primary wound dressing for open or exuding wounds. For open wound management, B. Braun offers dedicated wound care products including Askina wound dressings. Consult a wound care specialist or tissue viability nurse for appropriate product selection for open wounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should Linovera Oil be used for pressure injury prevention?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply Linovera Oil 2 to 3 times daily to clean, dry skin over bony prominences and other pressure-susceptible areas. Pump a small amount onto the target area and massage lightly until fully absorbed. The oil should form part of a comprehensive pressure injury prevention strategy that includes regular repositioning, pressure-redistributing support surfaces, nutritional optimisation, and skin assessment per EPUAP\/NPIAP\/PPPIA guidelines. Linovera does not replace pressure redistribution but supplements the skin care component of the prevention bundle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Linovera Oil suitable for use around ostomy sites?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Linovera Oil can be used on peristomal skin to improve hydration and barrier function in areas that are not covered by the ostomy barrier adhesive. It should not be applied directly under the adhesive baseplate, as the oil film may reduce barrier adhesion. Allow the oil to fully absorb before applying the ostomy appliance. Consult an enterostomal therapy (ET) nurse for individualised peristomal skin care recommendations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this product available in Singapore?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Linovera Oil is HSA-listed and available through EMIS (Essential Medical International Supplies Pte Ltd) for individual and institutional procurement in Singapore. It is suitable for hospital, nursing home, home care, and outpatient clinic use. EMIS provides delivery across Singapore with options for recurring supply arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What is Linovera Skin Care Oil 50 ml for Dehydrated and Fragile Skin used for?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Linovera Skin Care Oil 50 ml for Dehydrated and Fragile Skin by B.
