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.
To remove denser films, crusts and scabs, in the presence of abundant accumulations of fibrin, dense necrotic tissues, etc., it is recommended to continue treating the wound with Prontosan gel.
The wound surface should be covered with a layer of gel at least 3 mm thick. Prontosan is applied to the wound or injected into the wound cavity. From above, the layer of gel is covered with two or three sterile gauze wipes or other dressings. Prontosan should remain on the wound until the next dressing. Dressings are done daily. As the wound is cleared of necrotic tissue, dressings can be done every other day.
Depending on when the next dressing is scheduled, a different amount of Prontosan gel can be applied, with a layer of 3 to 5 mm thick. The application of the gel should be carried out at such a frequency that will be sufficient to completely remove all films and necrotic tissue and achieve optimal clearance of the wound to accelerate its healing or for the subsequent stage of surgical treatment.
Active ingredients:
0.1% undecylene amidopropyl betaine;

Individual intolerance to the components of the drug.
pharmachologic effect
The healing of the wound surface can be slowed down by the presence of exudate in the wound, formations in the form of films, crusts and scabs of dead tissue and cell detritus and / or biofilms. These coatings are difficult to remove and create good conditions for the growth of pathogenic microflora. In addition, even seemingly clean wounds, especially post-traumatic ones, can be contaminated with microorganisms that can cause infectious complications in the wound. Prontosan allows you to thoroughly cleanse the wound surface, moisturize the wound and suppress the bacterial flora, which creates conditions for early wound healing. Thanks to the antibacterial component, Prontosan can be successfully used to prevent infection of wounds with pathogenic microorganisms and to prevent the development of infectious complications in the wound.
Side effects
Rare: slight burning sensation that disappears after a few minutes.
Drug interactions
Prontosan should not be mixed or used together with other disinfectants, ointments, oils, surfactants, enzymes, etc.
