Preservative-moistened dressings reduce the risk of bacterial spread from the wound into the patient's surroundings and protect the wound against bacterial invasion from the outside.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLavanid - Wound Gel\/Wound Gel V+\u003cbr\u003eHydrogels with polyhexanide as a preservative for cleansing and moisturizing chronic and acute wounds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDescription and product profile:\u003cbr\u003eChronic wounds are generally covered with dead and necrotic tissue and colonized with germs. For successful wound treatment, the wound coating must be removed, e.g., through surgical debridement. Gentle wound cleansing and moisturizing are also necessary. Chronic wounds exhibit impaired wound healing. Therefore, treatment with particularly tissue-compatible preparations is indicated. Lavanid - Wound Gel and Lavanid - Wound Gel V+ are sterile, ready-to-use wound gels for cleansing and moisturizing wounds. Lavanid - Wound Gel V+ is more viscous than Lavanid - Wound Gel. Polyhexanide 0.04% is used as a preservative. Polyhexanide is considered the treatment of choice for chronic wounds and burns. In addition to cleaning and moisturizing wounds, the wound gel is also suitable for preservative dressings, e.g., for wounds colonized with multi-resistant problem germs. Preservative dressings reduce the risk of germs being spread from the wound to the patient's environment and protect the wound from external germs entering the wound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIngredients:\u003cbr\u003eRinger's solution (isotonic electrolyte solution consisting of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride 2 H2O, and water for injections), glycerin, macrogol, hydroxyethylcellulose, and 0.04% polyhexanide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAreas of application:\u003cbr\u003eThe wound gel is used to moisten and clean wounds, as well as to preservatively moisten dressings and wound pads.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTissue compatibility:\u003cbr\u003eThe combination of Ringer's solution with 0.04% polyhexanide has proven to be very well tolerated by tissue in experimental and clinical studies. Clinical studies with the wound gel have shown that the regeneration of healthy tissue is not impaired. There are no local irritations. Application is painless for the patient.\u003cbr\u003eDue to its good tissue tolerance, the wound gel is also suitable for repeated and long-term wound treatment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstructions for use:\u003cbr\u003ePrepare and clean the wound as usual. Apply the wound gel to the wound or a wound dressing (e.g., compresses or poultices). Dress the wound as usual. The wound gel remains on the wound until the next dressing change. For optimal wound moistening, it is recommended to increase the amount of wound gel with increasing intervals between dressing changes. If adhesion to the wound is observed during a dressing change, moisten it sufficiently with rinsing solution (e.g., Lavanid wound irrigation solution) before removing the dressing. If the wound gel is to be reused, the instructions and shelf life information must be observed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContraindications:\u003cbr\u003eThe wound gel must not be used:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eif you are hypersensitive to any of the ingredients,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein the area of cartilage and joints.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWound care\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is currently insufficient experience with its use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Due to incompatibility problems with the ingredient polyhexanide, the wound gel must not be used in combination with anionic substances (e.g. anionic surfactants or anionic gel formers as well as products containing PVP-iodine). If necessary, these substances must be rinsed generously from the wound after prior wound contact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSide effects:\u003cbr\u003eThe ingredient polyhexanide can cause allergic reactions. In isolated cases, acute reactions of the immune system (anaphylactic reactions) have been reported. Users and\/or patients are advised to report all serious incidents that occur in connection with the product to the manufacturer and the responsible authority.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes and information on shelf life:\u003cbr\u003eThe expiry date is printed on the container. Do not use after the expiry date! The shelf life after opening is 1 month. The wound gel is sterile as long as the packaging is unopened and undamaged. Although sterility is impaired once the container is opened, a shelf life of one month after opening is possible due to the preservation process. This is provided that the contents are protected from contamination. The container must not come into contact with the wound. The opening should be resealed immediately after each use. Any gel residue at the opening should be wiped away with a sterile compress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisposal instructions:\u003cbr\u003eDispose of unused products or waste material in accordance with specific national regulations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWound care\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e","brand":"EMRA-MED Arzneimittel GmbH","offers":[{"title":"2x10 g","offer_id":55465004958073,"sku":"18824405","price":79.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 g","offer_id":55465004990841,"sku":"18824411","price":169.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/0792\/0249\/files\/Wound_care_LAVANID_wound_gel.jpg?v=1752530225","url":"https:\/\/ukdorf.co.uk\/products\/wound-care-lavanid-wound-gel","provider":"UKDorf (ELIVERA) Buy online, Reviews Est. 1988 London, UK.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
