Flaminal Hydro Wound Healing Cream Light to Medium 30g Flaminal Hydro is a new class of wound healing product, the genogel enzyme, consisting of an antibacterial enzyme system embedded in hydrophilic alginate. 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 protection from microbes.
4. Flaminal Hydro is safe for skin and wound tissue.
5. Flaminal Hydro reduces the odor of wounds caused by bacteria.
6. Flaminal Hydro helps reduce excessive protease activity (protease = enzyme that breaks down proteins).
7. Flaminal Hydro reduces the number of bacteria released from the biofilm.
8. Flaminal Hydro protects the wound edge.
These are the main characteristics of fast wound healing.
Flaminal Hydro is indicated for mild to moderately exudative wounds, such as:
Leg ulcers
- Diabetic ulcer
Second-degree burns (deep, superficial)
Wounds as a result of radiotherapy
Tumor wounds
Complex abrasions
Wounds resulting from skin surgery
Instructions for use:
Applying or reapplying Flaminal Hydro to the wound is easy and painless. Complete as follows:
1. First clean and rinse the wound
2. Gently dry
3. Cover the entire wound layer with a sufficiently thick layer (eg 4-5 mm) Flaminal Hydro
4. Cover Flaminal Hydro with a bandage. The choice of dressing is determined by the nature of the wound:
- Dry wound: a transparent film (polyurethane) or a grease pad attached to a non-adhesive bandage
- Low exudation: The non-adhesive wound dressing is attached to a non-adhesive dressing or to a hypoallergenic adhesive dressing
- Apply moderately: an absorbent non-stick pad attached to a non-stick pad or hypoallergenic adhesive plaster
Good to know:
Check the bandage daily. If there are leaks or enough gel, replace Flaminal® Hydro and apply a new pad.
- If dry white alginate crusts appear on the wound margin during treatment with Flaminal Hydro, leave them alone. They protect from softening the edge of the wound. Softening slows wound healing.
If dry white alginate scales appear in the wound, cover it
Flaminal Hydro as with a dry wound. Wound crusts disappear when the fluid balance in the wound is restored.
- If the gel works too quickly, the wound is too wet for Flaminal Hydro and it is better to use Flaminal Forte.
The bandage with Flaminal Hydro can remain in place as long as the gel composition is intact (1 to 4 days, depending on the degree of exudation).
At the initial stage of treatment, you may have the impression that the wound is enlarged. This is a normal result of the healing process as the dead tissue is removed.
- Since alginates are natural products, the color may change slightly. The color change does not affect the quality of Flaminal Hydro.
special cases:
Leg ulcers: Adhesives often cause allergic reactions, especially in patients with leg ulcers. Use a non-stick bandage
Weak wounds: place sterile tampons in the hollows to support them and apply a sufficient amount of Flamenal Hydro to the hollows between the tampons.
Fistulas and deep narrow wound cavities: Gently inject Flaminal Hydro into the cavity using a dedicated cannula.
- Wound douche: apply a thick layer of Flaminal Hydro or use Flaminal® Forte.
Heel Sores: Apply Flaminal Hydro and cover with a V-shaped gauze pad.
Preventive measures:
Additional treatment may be required for some wounds. Consult a doctor or wound specialist.
Flaminal Hydro can be used on infected wounds under medical supervision.
Alginate has an unpleasant odor that does not affect wound healing. However, if the odor suddenly becomes more noticeable, 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 happens, rinse the eyes well with running water. Visit a doctor.
