Flaminal Hydro 25G

Description
Enzymatic alginogel, a new class of wound dressings. Flaminal hydro covers and protects the wound. Enzymatic alginogels combine a unique set of physicochemical properties that promote moist wound healing of various origins, promote continuous wound debridement, and protect wound edges, along with antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of microorganisms, which can significantly slow down the wound healing process.

Directions for use
1. Before applying Flaminal (hydro or forte), it is recommended to clean the wound and surrounding area.
2. Cover the entire wound bed with a sufficiently thick layer (e.g., 4-5 mm) of Flaminal hydro or, in case of wounds with moderate or high exudation, Flaminal forte.
Flaminal (hydro or forte) can be applied in various ways, such as directly from the tube, directly on the dressing, with a spatula, with a nozzle, or with a syringe.
3. Cover Flaminal (hydro or forte) with a dressing. The type of dressing should be based on the wound type.
Slightly or moderately exuding wound: transparent film (polyurethane) or non-adherent dressing secured with a non-adherent bandage, such as paraffin gauze.
From moderately to heavily exuding: non-adherent absorbent dressing secured with a non-adherent bandage or hypoallergenic adhesive tape.
4. Check the dressing daily.
Flaminal dressing (Hydro or Forte) can stay in place as long as the gel's structure remains intact (from 1 to 4 days, depending on exudate amount).
In case of leaks or insufficient gel, replace Flaminal (Hydro and Forte) and apply a new dressing.
5. At each dressing change/wound cleaning:
• thoroughly clean the wound and surrounding area;
• remove all white scalings of alginate from the wound and leave only those on the wound edge. Scales prevent weakening of the wound edge and maceration (softening and breaking of the skin due to prolonged exposure to moisture). Maceration delays the wound healing process.

Components
Alginates [total alginate content 3.5% (g/g)], macrogol, hydroxypropyl cellulose, enzymatic system (glucose oxidase, lactoperoxidase, glucose, guaiacol), potassium sorbate, potassium iodide, buffer, Purified water Ph. Eur.

Warnings
Do not use Flaminal (hydro or forte) if you have a known allergic reaction to any of the ingredients.
For external use only.
When a patient is treated for wounds that may reach the bones and joints or with exposed bones and joints for the first time, the patient must be monitored for at least 30 minutes after administering Flaminal (Hydro or Forte).
Some wounds may require additional treatment. Consult a doctor or wound specialist.
Flaminal (Hydro and Forte) can only be used on infected wounds under medical supervision.
The gel has a slight odor caused by the alginates. This odor does not affect the healing process. If a sudden and distinct odor occurs, consult a doctor or wound specialist.
Flaminal (Hydro and Forte) should not be used on eyelids or eyes. In case of contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly with running water and consult a doctor.
Do not use the product if it appears damaged or accidentally opened before use.
