Atrozone Emulgel: topical medical device for pain and inflammation
Muscle pain, joint stiffness, tendinitis and inflammatory conditions of soft tissues are very common problems both in athletes and in people subject to joint overload, incorrect postures or intense physical activity. These conditions can manifest as localized pain, swelling, muscle tension and limited movement, compromising daily comfort and functional recovery.
In the presence of localized trauma, bruising or rheumatic conditions, it may be useful to intervene with topical formulations with soothing and refreshing action, capable of contributing to muscle and joint well-being directly on the affected area.
Atrozone Emulgel is a topical medical device developed for relief of muscle, joint and rheumatic pain. The formulation contains ingredients with soothing, refreshing and anti-edematous action such as Arnica montana, devil’s claw, escin, menthol, camphor and ozonized olive oil.
Muscle and joint pain: causes and associated conditions
Muscle pain and joint stiffness can appear after intense physical activity, repetitive movements, incorrect postures or minor daily trauma. Functional overload and inflammatory conditions of soft tissues can also cause persistent discomfort and limited movement, especially in the most stressed areas.
Among the most common conditions we find:
- tendinitis
- muscle contractures and strains
- bruises
- rheumatic manifestations
- osteo-articular inflammations
These conditions can manifest as localized pain, swelling, muscle tension, edema and difficulty in daily movements or during physical activity. In acute phases, inflammation and stiffness can also slow functional recovery and reduce joint and muscle comfort.
What is Atrozone Emulgel and what is it used for
Atrozone Emulgel is a topical medical device formulated for relief of muscle, joint and rheumatic pain. Thanks to the emulgel texture, the product promotes practical application directly on the affected area and rapid skin absorption.
The formulation is developed to support problems associated with:
- muscle tension
- joint stiffness
- localized edema and swelling
- soft tissue trauma
- osteo-articular and rheumatic discomfort
The presence of functional ingredients with soothing, refreshing and anti-edematous action contributes to the well-being of the treated area and improvement of muscle and joint comfort.
Arnica montana and devil’s claw: support for muscles and joints
Among the main ingredients present in the formulation we find Arnica montana and devil’s claw, plant extracts frequently used in products dedicated to muscle and osteo-articular well-being.
Arnica montana is traditionally used in problems associated with bruises, muscle tension and post-traumatic discomfort thanks to its soothing and anti-edematous properties. For this reason it is often used in topical formulations dedicated to bruising, strains and muscle fatigue.
The formulation also contains glycolic extract of devil’s claw (Harpagophytum procumbens), an ingredient known for its use in products dedicated to joint stiffness, localized tension and osteo-articular problems associated with inflammation and joint discomfort.
Menthol, escin and ozonized olive oil
The formulation of Atrozone Emulgel also contains menthol, escin and ozonized olive oil, ingredients frequently used in topical products dedicated to muscle well-being.
Menthol contributes to providing an immediate sensation of freshness on the skin and improving the comfort of the treated area.
Escin is used especially in formulations dedicated to edema and swelling thanks to local microcirculation support and anti-edematous action.
Ozonized olive oil is instead used to contribute to relief of fatigued muscles and support the well-being of the skin and affected tissues.
The presence of sodium hyaluronate, vitamin E and panthenol also contributes to skin comfort and maintenance of skin hydration.
Scientific evidence on menthol, bromelain and devil’s claw
Scientific research has explored the role of various ingredients used in formulations dedicated to muscle and joint well-being.
A review published in PubMed highlighted how menthol can contribute to modulation of pain perception thanks to activation of receptors involved in the sensation of freshness and localized comfort.
Further scientific evidence has explored the role of Devil’s Claw (Harpagophytum procumbens) in osteo-articular problems. A systematic review published in PubMed highlighted the possible contribution of devil’s claw in improving joint mobility and supporting pain associated with rheumatic problems and low back pain.
Escin has also been the subject of scientific interest for microcirculation support and problems associated with localized edema and swelling.
This evidence supports the use of topical formulations containing ingredients with soothing, refreshing and anti-edematous action for the support of muscle and joint problems associated with pain, tension and localized inflammation.
