Product Profile
Moisturising property
Due to its low surface tension, octenilin® Wound Irrigation Solution has excellent moisturising properties and thus cleansing properties on tissue surfaces, even difficult to reach surfaces, 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 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.
Conservation
octenilin® Wound Irrigation Solution is conserved as to considerably reduce the risk of germ conveyance into the adjacent surroundings during application. octenilin® Wound Irrigation Solution thus offers, if applied according to the instructions, an effective germ barrier between the wound and the treated person.Tissue tolerability and biocompatibility
Non-irritating, non-sensitising, free of pain, without tissue toxicity, no impairment granulation and no impairment of the epithelialisation. The good tolerability of Octenidine has been confirmed by clinical experience over many years and by clinical studies on chronic wounds as well.Instructions for use
Intensively irrigate and clean the wound with octenilin® Wound Irrigation Solution during each change of dressing (octenilin® Wound Irrigation Solution can be warmed up to body temperature immediately before application). Easily removable coverings can already be removed this way. Dressings and wound coverings additionally soaked with octenilin® Wound Irrigation Solution can be used to solvate fibrin coverings. The application should be repeated until all coverings and necroses can be removed and the wound is optically clean. Rinsing afterwards is generally not necessary. The wound can be further treated with octenilin® wound gel, if necessary.
Best before 8 weeks after the first use.
