VULNAMIN GEL
Hydrogel that aids the healing process.
It is an invasive medical device made in accordance with Directive 93/42/EEC MDD. It is intended to help restore the moist microenvironment in particularly dry wounds, while aiding the cleansing and granulation phase of uncleansed skin lesions.
It is a hydrogel that can be used to hyperhydrate necrotic tissue and induce autolysis, while stimulating granulation of the underlying viable tissue. It therefore facilitates cleansing of a wound bed covered with necrosis, fibrin and cell debris, aiding the resumption of tissue repair.
Unlike many astringent substances that cause vasoconstriction, soaps that can generally cause oedema or dehydration, or alcohol rubs that can cause damage by removing fats from the skin tissue, making the skin drier and more prone to cracking, Vulnamin Gel promotes the elimination of necrotic tissue and protects the integrity of the skin. Vulnamin Gel has no astringent or vasoconstrictive action, but promotes the lysis of necrotic tissue, encouraging granulation of the underlying viable tissue. Protect with a secondary dressing.
Directions for use
After cleaning the wound, apply an even layer over the entire lesion area, staying within the wound edge.
The interval between dressing changes depends essentially on the condition of the wound. Dressing changes should be matched to wound exudation; changing every other day or, at most, every three days is recommended.
Components
Purified water; sodium hyaluronate; glycine; L-proline; L-leucine; L-lysine HCl; methyl parahydroxybenzoate; propyl parahydroxybenzoate; propylene glycol.
Warnings
Wash your hands thoroughly before applying the dressing. Remove any foreign material from the wound by spraying saline solution from the inside of the wound outwards. After carefully cleaning the area to be treated, gently dab the wound with gauze to remove excess blood. If the lesion requires no further intervention, apply Vulnamin Gel after cleaning the wound.
It is contraindicated in case of known hypersensitivity to the components. No cases of overdose are known. No side effects are known. No interactions with medicines or medicinal substances are known. Although no side effects are known during pregnancy and breastfeeding, it should only be applied on a doctor's advice.
Vulnamin Gel is a well-tolerated product; occasionally a burning sensation may occur, due to the hypertonicity of the product that underlies its cleansing effectiveness. This sensation tends to resolve spontaneously. Application of the gel may cause maceration of the perilesional skin; this is a harmless event that resolves spontaneously by airing the area for a few minutes.
The expiry date refers to the unopened, correctly stored product. Do not use after the expiry date. Do not sterilise. Product for external use only. Do not use if the pack is open or damaged.
