Product Profile
Treatment of second-degree burns
octenilin® wound 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.
C. Ottomann and B. Hartmann, Emergency hospital Berlin, Berlin, 9th May 2005.
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.
Testing of the preservative properties of octenidine in the gel
octenilin® wound gel shows excellent inactivation of pathogens after as early as 1 minute. The latter was determined in the quantitative suspension test with high protein exposure ('dirty conditions'). The results showed that the inactivation of pathogens in octenilin® wound gel was sufficient against all test organisms after a 1-minute application.

Instructions for use
Wounds should always be irrigated and cleansed (e.g. octenilin® wound irrigation solution) to remove easily soluble encrustations before further treatment with octenilin® wound gel.
Bandages, gauze, compresses or other absorbent materials or wound-filling materials can be soaked or moistened before being applied to wounds. Change dressing every 1 to 3 days, depending on the wound situation. If used with paraffin gauzes, the dressing is to be changed and the wound cleaned daily. Application should be repeated frequently until all encrustations or necrotic tissue are easily removed and the wound is clean on inspection.
Use within 6 weeks after initial opening of bottle.
