Product features

Prontosan akut Wound Gel
For acute wounds and minor burns

1. Intended use

Prontosan akut Wound Gel is a hydrogel for wound treatment that supports skin healing by covering the wound and thus creating an optimal moist environment for wound healing. Prontosan akut Wound Gel is intended for the treatment of minor burns and wounds (e.g. abrasions, cuts).

2. Properties

Prontosan akut Wound Gel contains a hydrocolloid with a skin-neutral pH value, which supports the creation of an optimal moist environment for wound healing and thus reduces the likelihood of scarring. In addition, Prontosan akut Wound Gel quickly relieves pain due to its cooling effect. Prontosan akut Wound Gel is a ready-to-use, clear, colourless and odourless hydrogel. The gel is non-irritating, well tolerated and painless to apply. As it contains neither perfume nor dyes, it leaves no stains on skin or tissues. Prontosan akut Wound Gel is dermatologically tested. The very good tissue compatibility of polihexanide and betaine surfactants has been proven over many years of clinical use. As an additional effect to the primary effect, Prontosan akut Wound Gel is effective against clinically relevant pathogenic microorganisms, including MRE.

3. Instructions for use

For minor burns and superficial wounds (e.g. abrasions, cuts). Do not use the gel on heavily weeping or infected wounds. Wash your hands before and after treating a wound. Clean and dry the wound carefully before applying the gel. Apply Prontosan akut Wound Gel carefully (without rubbing) to the wound once or twice a day (two to six times a day for sunburn). Cover the wound with a plaster or dressing if necessary and change it daily. Prontosan akut Wound Gel should not be used continuously for more than 30 days.
