Chemical composition
Poloxamer, Polyhexamethylene biguanide (Polyhexanide, 0.1%) purified water
Indications:
- Infected or uninfected acute wounds (e.g. traumatic wounds that occur as the result of cuts, tears, excoriation, crushing, being bitten, being stung or surgical wounds)
- Infected or uninfected chronic wounds (diabetic ulcers, venous ulcers, decubitus (pressure sore), etc.)
- Infected or uninfected thermal or chemical wounds (1st and 2nd degree burns, chemical burns, wounds that caused by electrical current, radiation wounds etc.)
- Entry regions of urological catheters,
- Maintenance of peristomal skin, fistulas and abscesses, wound surface prior to dressing, suitable for antiseptic cleansing, softening and removal of dressing materials, bandages, dressings, pads and wound fillers that are dried, contaminated and adhered to the wound
Method of Use:
Actolind® w Solution should be used for wound surface cleaning and irrigation before any treatment.
Actolind® w Solution can be applied in combination with Actolind® w Gel. The wound should be cleaned with Actolind® w Solution before the application of Actolind® w Gel to remove any contaminants and deposits.
Actolind® w Solution can also be used for antiseptic cleansing and softening of encrusted dressing materials that are dried and adhered to the wound surface and difficult to remove.
Actolind® w Solution does not inhibit granulation or epithelialization. It has neither irritating nor pain giving properties. It causes no sensitization and can be used safely for a long time.
Usage:
Actolind® w Solution can be applied directly onto the wound as well as onto the bandage and gauzes.
The entire wound and its surroundings should be thoroughly cleaned with Actolind® w Solution. For optimal wound cleaning, it is recommended to wet the wound consisting of deep and intensively necrotic tissues, for at least 10-15 min. with the help of a fully wetted compress (application of wet dressing). The application can be repeated according to the wound conditions without any time limits. Do not dilute the solution! The cleaned wound can be covered with Actolind® w Gel and bandaged properly.
Thoroughly wet dressings and bandages adhered to the wound surface with Actolind® w Solution, wait 5-10 min. For softening and remove them carefully from wound. Wetting the dressing materials with Actolind® w Solution prevents adhering to the wound surface and facilitates dressing change significantly. In order to maintain a moist wound climate, the dressing can be changed daily, if necessary, several times a day. Actolind® w Solution is compatible with all modern wound dressings.
