ACTOLIND W GEL 50 ML

Actolind W Gel 50 ml is a medical antimicrobial gel designed for cleansing, protecting, and moistening wounds. It is used alongside dressings, gauze, and wound fillers for chronic and infected wounds, as well as first- and second-degree burns. It cleanses and hydrates the wound bed, isolating it from the external environment by forming a protective film barrier. This fills the gap between the dressing and the wound surface, helping to accelerate healing by maintaining wound stability.

What is Actolind gel used for?

• Helps cleanse, disinfect, and decontaminate the wound surface.

• Hydrates the wound bed and helps maintain an optimal moist environment for wound healing.

• Forms a protective layer over the wound surface that acts as a barrier between the wound and the dressing.

• Reduces dressing adherence to the wound bed, enabling dressing changes without causing secondary tissue injury.

• Softens and helps remove dried dressings, crusts, and slough.

• Does not inhibit granulation or re-epithelialization according to manufacturer data.

• Suitable for the care of acute and chronic, infected and non-infected wounds.

• Can be used on first- and second-degree burns, as well as thermal or chemical wounds.

• Features high tissue compatibility and is suitable for long-term use under medical guidance.

• Exhibits antimicrobial activity against multi-drug resistant microorganisms such as MRSA and VRE, as well as fungi like Candida albicans.

• Suitable for long-term use; well tolerated by allergic patients and individuals with diabetes.

Directions for Use

• It is recommended to first cleanse the wound surface with ACTOLIND W Solution to remove contaminants, exudate, necrotic tissue, and crusts prior to gel application.

• After cleansing the wound, apply an adequate amount of ACTOLIND W Gel to completely cover the entire wound surface.

• The gel can be applied directly onto the wound, or onto the dressing/gauze.

• Apply an appropriate secondary dressing over the gel after fully covering the wound bed.

• There is no need to rinse or remove the gel once applied; it can remain on the wound bed until the next dressing change.

• During dressing changes, ACTOLIND W Solution can be used to help remove the remaining gel layer, slough, or crusts before reapplying the gel.

• Reapply the gel regularly with every dressing change according to wound condition and medical advice.

• Do not reuse materials such as gauze, dressings, or wipes that have come into contact with the wound.

• Opened containers are intended for single-patient use only to minimize the risk of cross-contamination.

Precautions and Warnings
