B Braun Prontosan Wound Gel 30mL Amorphous Liquid Gel with Polyexanide and Betaine
Prontosan® Wound Gel is a ready-to-use gel containing 0.1% Polyhexanide (preservative), Betaine (surfactant), Glycerol (moisturizer) and Hydroxyethylcellulose (gel) in water for the purpose of cleaning, disinfecting and moisturizing acid and chronic wounds such as ulcers (diabetic, venous, bedsores). It does not inhibit granulation and epithelization. It cleans, moisturizes the wounds and prevents the creation of the biofilm as well as the reduction of the bacterial load.
How is Prontosan Wound GEL used?
Prontosan Wound Gel is used in combination with Prontosan Wound Irrigation Solution. Apply Prontosan Wound Gel Fluid to the wound to extend the antimicrobial action of the solution for up to 72 hours. Prontosan Wound Gel Fluid is used adjunctively with the aim of slowly eliciting the polyexanide so that the wound surface is clean.
For small wounds apply a 3-4 mm thick layer of Prontosan Wound Gel and cover with a bandage. For application to deep wounds, wound cavities and hard-to-reach areas, apply a 3-5 mm layer of Prontosan Wound Gel and cover with a bandage.
