octenilin^® wound irrigation solution

• rapid, effective cleansing of wounds
• for the removal of wound crusts consisting of necrotic tissue, pathogens, biofilm and fibrinous films
• suitable for difficult to access areas, such as fissures and wound pockets
• for moistening of wounds
• for moistening of dressings and wound pads
• for gentle removal of difficult to remove, caked dressings/ wound pads
• for combined use with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (V.A.C.Ulta, KCI)

Moistening property
Due to its low surface tension, octenilin® wound irrigation solution has excellent moistening properties and cleansing properties on tissue surfaces. The solution also works well in difficult to reach areas such as fissures and wound pockets.

Cleansing power to remove biofilms
Studies on the cleansing power against microorganisms in the biofilm revealed a good performance.
In comparison to other wound irrigation solutions, such as Ringer or isotonic saline solutions commonly used in hospitals, octenilin® wound irrigation solution shows a significantly better cleansing power and, therefore, a better reduction of pathogens.

Performance
octenilin® wound irrigation solution contains octenidine as a preservative, capable of inactivating germs and thereby reducing the risk of germ transmission into the surrounding area during application. octenilin® wound irrigation solution offers an effective germ barrier between the wound and the patient if applied correctly.

Tissue tolerability and biocompatibility
Non-irritating, non-sensitising, painless, without tissue toxicity, no impairment granulation and no impairment of epithelialisation. The good tolerability of octenidine has been confirmed over many years clinical experience and clinical studies on chronic wounds.
