Prontosan gel for wounds, 30 ml

Healing of the wound surface can be delayed by the presence of exudate, films, crusts and scabs of dead tissue and cellular detritus and/or biofilms in the wound. These coatings are difficult to remove and create good conditions for pathogenic microflora to grow.

In addition, even apparently clean wounds, especially post-traumatic wounds, can be contaminated with microorganisms that can cause infectious complications in the wound.

Prontosan allows thorough cleaning of the wound surface, moisturizes the wound and suppresses bacterial flora, which creates conditions for faster wound healing. Thanks to its antibacterial component Prontosan can be successfully used for prevention of wound infection by pathogenic microorganisms and prevention of development of infectious complications in the wound.

Indications

Wound gel – for cleansing, moisturizing and decontamination:

purulent-necrotic wounds of various origins, including long-term non-healing wounds, such as trophic ulcers, bedsores, etc.;
post-traumatic wounds with the presence of foreign and necrotic tissues;
thermal and chemical burns, especially in lesions with a large amount of necrotic tissue and scab;
wound surfaces around stomas, catheters or probes;
postoperative wounds.

Pharmacological effect

Healing of the wound surface may be delayed due to the presence of exudate, film-like formations, crusts and scabs of dead tissue and cellular debris and/or biofilms in the wound. These coatings are difficult to remove and create good conditions for the growth of pathogenic microflora.

In addition, even apparently clean wounds, especially post-traumatic ones, can be contaminated with microorganisms that can cause infectious complications in the wound.

Prontosan allows for thorough cleansing of the wound surface, moisturizing the wound and suppressing bacterial flora, which creates conditions for speedy wound healing. Thanks to the antibacterial component, Prontosan can be successfully used to prevent infection of wounds by pathogenic microorganisms and prevent the development of infectious complications in the wound.
