Octenilin Wound Gel - 20ml

Wound gel for covering, moistening and cleansing of encrusted, contaminated and chronic wounds as well as burn wounds

Octenilinwound gel was used in a study on 107 subjects with grade IIa burns of the skin. The moist dressing was easy to use and could be left on the wound for up to three days thanks to its preservative properties. The pain was minimised and the number of required dressing exchanges reduced. 45% of the subjects reported feeling comfortable or pain free with the first application. No intolerance reactions within the meaning of allergic skin irritations, skin reddening etc. were observed.Non-irritating, non-sensitising, pain-free, without tissue toxicity, no impairment of granulation or epithelialisation. The good tolerability of Octenidine has been confirmed by clinical experience over many years and also by clinical studies on chronic wounds.
