Moisturising property

Due to its low surface tension, octenilin^® Wound Irrigation Solution has excellent moisturising properties and thus cleansing properties on tissue surfaces, even difficult to reach surfaces, such as fissures and wound pockets.

Cleansing power to remove biofilms

Studies on the cleansing power against microorganisms in the biofilm revealed a good performance.

In comparison to wound irrigation solutions such as Ringer or isotonic saline solutions commonly used in hospitals, octenilin^® Wound Irrigation Solution shows a significantly better cleansing power and, therefore, a better reduction of pathogens.

Conservation

octenilin^® Wound Irrigation Solution is conserved as to considerably reduce the risk of germ conveyance into the adjacent surroundings during application. octenilin^® Wound Irrigation Solution thus offers, if applied according to the instructions, an effective germ barrier between the wound and the treated person.

Tissue tolerability and biocompatibility

Non-irritating, non-sensitising, free of pain, without tissue toxicity, no impairment granulation and no impairment of the epithelialisation. The good tolerability of Octenidine has been confirmed by clinical experience over many years and by clinical studies on chronic wounds as well.
