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.
Tissue tolerability and biocompatibility
Non-irritating, non-sensitising, without tissue toxicity, no impairment of granulation and no impairment of epithelialisation. The tolerability of octenidine has been confirmed by clinical experience over many years in addition to clinical studies on chronic wounds.
Instructions for use
Intensively irrigate and cleanse the wound with octenilin® wound irrigation solution during each dressing change. octenilin® wound irrigation solution can be warmed up to body temperature immediately before application. 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 visually clean. Rinsing afterwards with a different solution is generally not necessary. The wound can be further treated with octenilin® wound gel as necessary.
Best before 8 weeks after the first use.
