Purpose of use

Cleansing and moisturizing
As long as there are no systemic diseases, wounds usually heal on their own provided they are kept clean and moist. However, contact with air, but also contamination and drying out of the wound, leads to the growth of various microorganisms. Actolind ® Solution cleans and moisturizes the wound, creating a protective film layer that isolates the wound surface from the external environment. The space between the wound surface and the wound compress is filled with Actolind ® Solution and helps faster wound healing by stabilizing the wound. In addition, Actolind ® Solution prevents the dressing material from adhering to the wound and the exclusion of air prevents the growth of microorganisms.

Irrigation
Wound deposits consist of cell and tissue debris, necrotic tissue, but also wound exudates and other components that promote the formation of biofilms. Actolind W Solution is used to rinse the wound in order to remove these components that prevent the wound from healing.

Use when changing dressings
Medical devices such as bandages, gauzes, absorbent materials, compresses, etc. may adhere to the wound and cause secondary wounds after infection. Before the dressings and bandages are changed, they should be soaked with Actolind ® Solution . Due to the moisturizing and cleaning agents in the product composition, the bandage is removed from the wound without causing tissue irritation or damage.

Application:

Actolind® w Solution can be used directly on wounds as well as on bandages and gauzes. Materials such as bandages, gauzes, wipes, etc. should not be reused. Actolind® w Gel can be warmed to body temperature before use.

The entire wound and its surroundings should be thoroughly cleaned with Actolind® w Solution to minimize the risk of transfer of contaminants and microorganisms to the wound surface. For optimal wound cleaning, it is recommended to moisten the wound with deep and intensely necrotic tissue for at least 10-15 minutes using a completely moistened compress (use of wet bandages). The application can be repeated depending on the wound conditions without any time restrictions. Do not dilute the solution! The cleaned wound can be covered with Actolind® w Gel and bandaged properly.

Thoroughly moisten dressings and bandages that adhere to the wound surface with Actolind ^® w Gel , allow to soak for approx. 5-10 minutes and then carefully remove from the wound. Wetting the dressing materials with Actolind ^® w Gel prevents them from sticking to the wound surface and makes changing the dressing much easier. To maintain a moist wound environment, the dressing can be changed daily, or even several times a day if necessary. Actolind ^® w Gel is compatible with all modern wound dressings.

Possible infections can be avoided by regularly cleaning the catheter entry ports, the flexible connections and the surrounding area with Actolind ^® w Gel . Spray the area with Actolind ^® w Gel from a short distance and wait about 1-5 minutes. The ingredients of Actolind ^® w Gel are particularly compatible with mucous membranes and clean catheter and PEG material without damaging it. As with wound care, encrusted adhesive plasters can be easily removed after briefly wetting them with Actolind ^® w Gel .
