ActiMaris forte wound irrigation solution

ActiMaris Forte wound irrigation solution is made of water with sea salt (3.0 %) and sodium hypochlorite NaOCl (0.2 %). Sodium hypochlorite and sea salt have an eliminating effect on typical sore pathogens without damaging the tissue. The decontaminating effect against MRSA / VRE tested positive. The oxidative effect of sodium hypochlorite and hypertonic saline are also responsible for the neutralisation of wound odours. The alkaline pH-value of ActiMaris Forte wound irrigation solution supports due to the provision of OH-ions (as part of a naturally balanced redox system) additionally the release of oxygen. Sea salt contains sodium chloride as its main ingredient (NaCl = 98 %) as well as 2 % other sea salts. The increased salinity of ActiMaris Forte wound irrigation solution in turn ensures an optimum hyperosmotic effect so that peri-wound swelling subsides quickly. Ares of application: -ActiMaris Forte wound irrigation solution is suitable: -for cleaning, humidification, decontamination, biofilm resolution, reduction of swelling and physiological debridement, to create an optimal “micro environment” for: -acute mechanical wounds (skin lacerations, bites, cuts, abrasions, fissures and contusions) and postoperative wounds -chronic wounds (pressure ulcers, arteriovenous ulcers, diabetic ulcers) -necrotic, malodorous wounds and ulcerating tumours, even with cavities (hollow spaces) -thermal and chemical wounds (burns 1st to 3rd degree) -entry portals of urological catheters and PEG tubes and drains -venous ulcers -for intra-operative cleaning and irrigation of superficial wounds. -for moistening of bandages and wound dressings. -during dressing changes to loosen encrusted bandages or other encrusted wound dressings. -for the local treatment of the skin and mucous membrane in inflammatory and infectious processes. -for the prevention of infection of the mucous membrane and skin, burns and other wound types.
