Flaminal Hydro is an enzyme alginogel – a wound healing agent that contains a hydrated alginate with an embedded anti-bacterial enzyme system. It can be used for acute and chronic wound types, or wounds at risk of infection: Flaminal Hydro for slightly to moderately exuding wounds and Flaminal Forte for wounds with moderate to high amounts of wound exudate. Flaminal Hydro Gel Features: Debriding Gel: Dissolves necrotic tissue and fibrinous slough and absorbs them from the wound bed Absorbent Alginate: Absorbs excess exudate, enables autolytic debridement (cleaning of wound and absorption of bacteria) Antimicrobial Enzyme System: Offers antimicrobial protection, and reduces bacteria released from a biofilms Flaminal Hydro Suitable For: Superficial and deep partial thickness burns. Diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers or pressure ulcers. Infected wounds. Neonates/paediatrics, oncologic, post-surgical or traumatic wounds. Skin tears. Flaminal Hydro Directions: Irrigate and clean the wound and the surrounding area thoroughly. Apply a thick layer (e.g. 4-5mm) of Flaminal(Hydro or Forte). Cover with a secondary dressing. Renew Flaminal (Hydro & Forte) whenever the gel structure is no longer intact (1-4 days, depending on the amount of exudate). Initially the wound may appear larger; this is a normal consequence of the debriding action of Flaminal(Hydro & Forte) which causes dead tissue to be absorbed. The colour of the alginates (gel) may change slightly due to their natural origin. Colour changes have no effect on the quality of Flaminal (Hydro or Forte). Dry wax-like flakes (flakes of alginates) may be seen. This is OK if they are found on the wound borders as they will protect the wound from maceration. If the flakes appear in the wound itself, particularly with Flaminal Forte, it might be because the wound is not producing enough exudate and you should change to Flaminal Hydro. Note: Must be used within 1 week of opening. For more information Click below, Product Sheet *This product image is only for reference.
