Abintra

Abintra is a specialized nutritional supplement, classified as a medical food, designed to support the metabolic demands of wound healing in patients with chronic or non-healing wounds. Developed by Abbott Nutrition, the formulation provides high concentrations of L-arginine and L-glutamine, amino acids that serve as critical precursors for collagen synthesis, cellular proliferation, and immune function. The product also contains a blend of antioxidant vitamins (C and E) and minerals (Zinc, Copper, Selenium) that act as cofactors for enzymatic reactions essential to tissue repair and protect against oxidative stress at the wound site. It is primarily indicated for the dietary management of pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and surgical wounds, and is typically administered as an oral solution reconstituted from powder.
