LAVANID® 1/2 are sterile and iso-osmotic wound irrigation solutions based on Ringer's solution with 0.02 % (LAVANID® 1) or 0.04 % (LAVANID® 2) polyhexanide for preservation. Polyhexanide (PHMB) prevents the growth of microorganisms in wound dressings and in the solution. Furthermore, the surface tension of the solution is reduced so that it can reach the tissue better and more effectively. This surfactant-like effect supports the effective cleansing of the wound.
LAVANID® 1/2 wound irrigation solutions are also isotonic. The use of an isotonic solution prevents swelling of the skin and irritation of the wound area, as there is no fluid or electrolyte exchange with the body's own secretions. This is also the reason for the good suitability for wound care and the very good tolerability of LAVANID® 1/2 described in the literature¹.
Every time a dressing is changed, the wound should first be cleansed of dirt, blood and coatings with wound irrigation solution. For this purpose, the affected areas are rinsed with LAVANID® 1/2 wound irrigation solution. The solution can be applied by unscrewing the bottle and pouring out the solution. Alternatively, the solution can be removed aseptically via the stopper using a spike. A spike is not included in the delivery.
LAVANID® 1/2 - wound irrigation solutions are colourless and therefore allow an unrestricted assessment of the wound condition, which makes wound care easier. The painless application ensures high patient acceptance.
Ringer's solution (isotonic electrolyte solution consisting of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride 2 H₂O, water for injection), macrogol, polyhexanide 0.02 % (LAVANID® 1) or polyhexanide 0.04 % (LAVANID® 2).
