LAVANID® - Wound Gel / Wound Gel V+

LAVANID® - Wound Gel / LAVANID® - Wound Gel V+ are sterile hydrogels with 0.04 % polyhexanide, based on Ringer's solution. Polyhexanide (PHMB) is used exclusively as a preservative. The chosen composition has proven to be very well tolerated by tissue in experimental and clinical studies. Chronic wounds are generally covered with avital and necrotic tissue and colonised with germs. For successful wound care, this coating must be removed, e.g. by surgical debridement. LAVANID® wound gel is used to support this process.

LAVANID® wound gel has good flow properties, which is an advantage when used in wound cavities or wound pockets. LAVANID® Wound Gel V+ has a higher viscosity and can convince with better adhesion properties compared to the normal gel.

Possible applications

LAVANID® - wound gels are suitable for the following applications:

For moistening as well as for preserving dressings and wound dressings.

To reduce the formation of new biofilm

For poorly healing and sensitive wounds

For burn wounds

For autolytic debridement

Tissue compatibility

Chronic wounds often show impaired wound healing. Therefore, it is all the more important to treat wounds with a particularly tissue-compatible preparation. Clinical studies have shown that polyhexanide does not impair the formation of new healthy tissue. In addition, there are no local irritation symptoms and the application is painless for the patient. Due to the good tissue compatibility of our products, they are suitable for repeated and long-term wound treatment.

Application

First prepare the wound and clean it with LAVANID® wound irrigation solution. Then apply LAVANID® Wound Gel / Wound Gel V+ directly to the wound or a wound dressing (e.g. compresses or poultices) and dress as usual. Conservative dressings reduce the risk of germs spreading from the wound into the patient's environment and prevent germs from entering from the outside. For optimal wound moistening, it is recommended to increase the amount of gel with increasing intervals between dressing changes. If adhesion to the wound is detected during dressing changes, the dressing should be sufficiently moistened with an irrigation solution (e.g. LAVANID® - Wound Irrigation Solution) before loosening the dressing.
