Magnoplasm Paste is a drawing paste containing glycerol and dried magnesium sulfate. The glycerol acts as a humectant which means it attracts water to itself and magnesium sulphate works via osmosis. The magnesium sulfate is dried so does not contain any water and when applied to the skin exhibits a strong osmotic effect and glycerol is hygroscopic, meaning it has a strong affinity for water and thus will draw out moisture from the inflamed area (as well as the atmosphere). It is a useful initial treatment for boils, carbuncles and whitlows.
Magnoplasm Paste has been on the Australian market for decades and is Australian made and owned. It is registered with the Therapeutic Goods Administration AUST R 29623 and sold in Australia.

Directions
- Spread (about 5mm thick) on the inflamed area needing treatment and cover with a non-adhesive dressing.
- Change the dressing after 12-24 hours and repeat if necessary.
- Magnoplasm Paste can be applied cold, straight from the jar or warmed to aid spreading.
How to Warm
- If necessary to warm the product, first warm a glass jar/cup, then add the required amount of Magnoplasm directly into the container. The warmth of the container should help soften the Magnoplasm and make it easier to apply.
- Alternatively, warm gently in your hand or immerse the jar in warm water making sure the water level is a little below the cap (to prevent water entering the jar).
- Do not use a microwave to heat Magnoplasm as products tend to deteriorate at higher temperatures and scalding can occur.
Warnings
- Store below 30°C.
- Do not use a microwave to heat the Magnoplasm as products tend to deteriorate at higher temperatures and scalding can occur.
- Magnoplasm Paste may need to be reapplied and the process repeated if the problem persists.
- Magnoplasm Paste should not be applied on areas where new tissue is forming on a wound (newly granulated areas) to avoid overgranulation and excessive scarring.
- Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist contact your healthcare practitioner.
