For fast, effective and gentle wound irrigation
Due to its low surface tension, Octenilin® wound irrigation solution has excellent moistening properties and cleansing properties on tissue surfaces. The solution also works well in difficult to reach areas such as fissures and wound pockets. Octenilin® wound irrigation solution contains Octenidine as a preservative, capable of inactivating germs and thereby reducing the risk of germ transmission into the surrounding area during application. Octenilin® wound irrigation solution offers an effective germ barrier between the wound and the patient if applied correctly. In comparison to other wound irrigation solutions, such as Ringer or isotonic saline solutions commonly used in hospitals, Octenilin® wound irrigation solution shows a significantly better cleansing power and, therefore, a better reduction of pathogens. Non-irritating, non-sensitising, painless, without tissue toxicity, no impairment granulation and no impairment of the epithelialisation. The good tolerability of Octenidine has been confirmed over many years clinical experience and clinical studies on chronic wounds.
