The company has a group of cooperation teams engaged in the Silicone Patch for Clothes industry for many years, with dedication, innovation spirit and service awareness, and has established a sound quality control and management system to ensure product quality.

Purpose

To test a non-pharmacological silicone patch for treatment of symptomatic hemorrhoids with focus on usability, safety, and self-reported short-term effect.

Methods

Puerperal women in a Danish maternity ward were cluster randomized to treatment with the HEMOCIN® patch (intervention) or no systematic treatment (control group). On inclusion and after 2 weeks, they completed a questionnaire regarding history and hemorrhoid symptoms scored from 0 to 10. Women in the intervention group also reported on the usability of the patch and any side effects.

Results

We included 31 women in the intervention group and 33 in the control group. Twenty-eight (90.3%) women in the intervention group and 27 (81.8%) women in the control group responded to follow-up. Except from a difference in the severity of swelling at inclusion, there were no differences between the two groups for any symptoms, neither at inclusion, nor at follow-up, or in the change of symptoms during the two weeks (p > 0.05). Twenty-three women (85.2%) in the control group used medical treatment vs. one woman in the intervention group. The patch was used on an average of 9.3 days, 15.5 h/day and for 7.1 h before changing the patch. No severe side effects were reported.

Conclusion

This pilot study finds that the HEMOCIN® patch is a safe and feasible treatment option for hemorrhoids. However, we did not detect any significant effect on hemorrhoid symptoms. The patch could be an option for people who seek non-pharmacological treatment for symptomatic hemorrhoids or need long-term treatment without steroid side effects.
