RediHeal Ointment
Rapid, scar-free healing - bandage optional
No bandage? No problem.
RediHeal Wound Care Ointment delivers rapid, virtually scar-free healing perfect for healing second intention wounds in dogs, cats, horses, birds, and exotic animals—without antibiotics or steroids.
The same borate-based bioactive technology you love as a fiber, in a hydrophilic base that maintains optimal moisture balance. Perfect for wounds you can't wrap - facial lacerations, paw pads, pressure sores, hot spots. Easy to apply (1-4 times daily), safe if licked, and simple enough to confidently send home with owners who need clear instructions and visible results.
Bandage-optional protocol improves compliance and reduces stress on patients who won't tolerate wrap.
Why Practices Are Switching
Cleaner and more cost-effective than medical-grade honey. Medical-grade Manuka honey works, but it's expensive per treatment and creates a sticky mess that complicates bandaging and frustrates your staff. RediHeal delivers comparable antimicrobial protection and angiogenic stimulation without the hassle—at a lower cost per application.
Natural antimicrobial protection without resistance concerns. No antibiotics means no resistance issues. No steroids means no systemic side effects. Just bioactive glass supporting the body's own healing mechanisms while preventing secondary infections.
Clinical support that actually answers the phone. Call 888-289-1890 and talk to someone who understands wound management and can help you troubleshoot specific cases.
Published, peer-reviewed evidence. This isn't experimental—it's proven science that's been used in orthopedic applications for decades, now optimized for soft tissue wound care.
How Bioactive Materials Work
When RediHeal contacts wound fluids, the borate-based fibers immediately begin transforming the wound environment through four simultaneous mechanisms:
Instant Scaffold Formation: The glass reacts with wound fluid to create a fibrin-like matrix that promotes cell adhesion and migration. This isn't just "covering" the wound - it's providing the architectural framework cells need to move in and start rebuilding tissue.
Rapid Angiogenic Stimulus: Trace elements including copper and calcium are released as the fibers degrade, triggering new capillary bed development. More blood vessels mean more oxygen, more nutrients, and faster granulation tissue formation. In published veterinary studies, wounds that showed zero granulation tissue after 5+ days of conventional care developed complete granulation coverage in an average of 4.8 days after bioactive glass application.
Optimized Moisture Balance: The hydrophilic properties maintain the appropriately moist environment that modern wound science demands (a dry cell is a dead cell), while the semi-occlusive nature allows oxygen exchange. No stinging, no burning—just comfortable healing.
Continuous Antimicrobial Action: The pH shifts created by glass degradation provide ongoing infection prevention without pharmaceutical intervention. You're protecting the wound while avoiding the resistance issues that come with topical antibiotics.
The clinical bottom line? You're not just treating a wound—you're actively engineering the conditions for accelerated healing.
Turn "I don't know what else to try" into "Holy Hannah, look at that granulation tissue."
Maybe you're the vet with one wound that's been sitting there for three weeks doing absolutely nothing, or maybe you're the pet parent watching it happen while your dog pulls off every bandage. Either way, you're still thinking about it at 10pm, and RediHeal is what happens next.
About the Great Dane in our photos: Dr. Daniela Bernard treated this paw laceration, which was stalled for 3 weeks, with RediHeal fiber. That's the same GL1605 bioactive fiber we mill into this ointment.
What You Get:
Week-one visible progress on wounds that were going nowhere
Infection control without adding to antibiotic resistance concerns
Owners who actually can (and will) treat at home - even on pets who hate bandages
Healing that's fast enough to shock you and clean enough to photograph
Our borate-based, bioactive, hydrophilic formula does what stalled wounds need most: stimulates new blood vessels, accelerates healthy tissue formation, and maintains the moisture balance that lets healing actually happen.
And yes, it's safe if they lick it.
Use It When:
Traditional treatments have plateaued and you need a reset
Bandaging isn't realistic (location, patient, or owner situation)
You want infection protection without reaching for antibiotics
The owner needs something simple enough to actually do at home
Perfect for many kinds of wounds, including pressure sores, hot spots, surgical sites, and any wound in an impossible-to-wrap location.
Choose Your Size:
1ml – Trial size or small wounds, about five days of twice-daily treatment on a 2.5 x 2.5 inch wound
6ml – Our most popular size; about a month of twice-daily treatment on that same wound
30ml – For large wounds, high-volume practices and zoos, at about 22 cents per application
Application advice is based on our bench testing, where 0.1ml covered about 2.5 x 2.5 inches.
How To Use It:
Clean the wound and gently remove any loose, dead tissue at the edges. Using a clean or gloved finger, apply a thin layer (thicker isn't better), either spread evenly or dotted about an inch apart so it melts across the surface. Reapply 1 to 4 times a day, more often if the wound looks dry, and continue until it's fully healed over with healthy pink tissue. RediHeal is bandage- optional, and if you cover it, use a breathable, non-adherent dressing.
If you choose not to cover it, keep the patient from licking it for at least 15 minutes while it absorbs, since licking won't hurt them but does wipe some of the ointment away. A treat, a distraction or an e-collar all help.
A bright red wound bed in the first day or two is usually new capillaries forming, and a bluish or greenish tint can come from the material itself. If the wound develops a foul odor, always check in with a veterinarian.
Storage: No refrigeration needed, and it keeps for one year, opened or unopened.
Quick Answers
Does it actually work?
RediHeal is built on borate-based bioactive fiber, backed by decades of research. In published veterinary work, stalled wounds reached complete granulation coverage in an average of 4.8 days after bioactive fibers were applied (Simons & Ben-Amotz, 2017). The ointment is our fiber, milled down into a semi-occlusive base, so it carries the same active material.
What will I see, and when?
Many users see a bright red wound bed within a day or two, which is usually new capillaries forming at the surface. Some wounds take up to a week to show real improvement.
What does it cost per treatment?
In our bench testing, 0.1ml covers about 2.5 x 2.5 inches. That's around $1.40 per application with the 1ml, under 50 cents with the 6ml and about 22 cents with the 30ml.
How does it compare to silver-based treatments?
In a 2025 lab study published in Future Microbiology, GL1605, the bioactive fiber in RediHeal, reduced S. epidermidis and E. coli biofilms by 5-log within 24 hours, while silver reached about a 2-log reduction at most (Fakher & Westenberg, 2025).
When shouldn't I use it?
Skip it on heavily draining or highly exudative wounds. It's for topical use only.
