Product Profile
Treament 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 five days thanks to its antimicrobial preservative. 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 irriations, skin reddening etc. were observed.¹
Non-irritating, non-sensitising, pain-free use, without tissue toxicity, no impairment of granulation or epithelialisation. The good tolerability of Octenidine has been confirmed by clinical experience over many years and by clinical studies also on chronic wounds.
Testing of the preservative properties of Octenidin 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.²
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.
octenilin® Wound Gel can remain on the wound until the next change of dressing. The frequency of dressing change depends on the nature of the wound and the amount of exudate and should be adapted to the current wound situation, but should be done after max. 3 days. 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.
