Flaminal Hydrogel 25.00 Gram

Flaminal Hydrogel

Flaminal® Hydro is an Enzyme Alginogel® based on alginates and an antimicrobial enzyme system.
Flaminal® Hydro promotes wound healing in several ways:
1. Flaminal® Hydro keeps the wound clean
2. Flaminal® Hydro keeps the wound moist
3. Flaminal® Hydro provides antimicrobial protection
4. Flaminal® Hydro is safe for the skin and wound tissue
5. Flaminal® Hydro reduces wound odor caused by bacteria
6. Flaminal® Hydro helps to reduce excessive protease activity (protease = enzyme that breaks down proteins)
7. Flaminal® Hydro protects against bacteria in a biofilm and reduces the biofilm mass
8. Flaminal® Hydro protects the wound edge
These are the main properties for rapid wound healing.

Usage
Flaminal® Hydro is indicated for low to moderately exuding wounds, such as: - leg ulcers - diabetic foot ulcers - 2nd-degree burns (deep, superficial) - radiation wounds - oncological wounds - complex abrasions - dermatosurgery

Instructions for use
Applying or re-applying Flaminal® Hydro to a wound is easy and painless. Proceed as follows: 1. First clean and rinse the wound (e.g. with Flamirins®) 2. Gently pat dry 3. Cover the entire wound bed with Flaminal® Hydro 4. Cover Flaminal® Hydro with a dressing. The choice of dressing is determined by the nature of the wound: - Dry wound: Transparent film (polyurethane) or greasy dressing with a non-adhesive bandage - Low exudate: Non-woven gauze compress with a non-adhesive bandage or with a hypoallergenic adhesive plaster - Moderate exudate: Absorbent, non-adhesive compress with a non-adhesive bandage or a hypoallergenic adhesive plaster Good to know - Check the dressing daily. If there are leaks or insufficient gel, replace Flaminal® Hydro and apply a new dressing. - If dry, white alginate flakes appear on the wound edge during treatment with Flaminal® Hydro, leave them. They protect against maceration of the wound edge. Maceration delays wound healing. - If dry, white alginate flakes appear in the wound, cover Flaminal® Hydro as for a dry wound. - If the gel becomes too runny, the wound is too moist for Flaminal® Hydro and it is better to use Flaminal® Forte. - The dressing with Flaminal® Hydro can remain in place as long as the gel structure is intact (1 to 4 days, depending on the degree of exudate). - In the initial phase of treatment, you may have the impression that the wound is enlarging. This is a normal consequence of the healing process in which dead tissue is removed. - Since alginates are natural products, the color may change slightly. The color change has no effect on the quality of Flaminal® Hydro.

Warnings
For certain wounds, additional treatment may be desired. Consult a doctor or
wound specialist.
Flaminal® Hydro can be used on infected wounds under medical supervision.
Alginates have a peculiar odor that does not affect wound healing. However, if the odor
suddenly becomes more pronounced, consult a doctor or wound specialist.
Flaminal® Hydro should not be used in patients with a known allergy to any of the
ingredients (see "Composition").
Flaminal® Hydro should not be applied to the eyelids or in the eyes. If this does happen,
you should rinse the eyes thoroughly with running water. Consult a doctor.
