2 WOUND IRRIGATION / 203 Prontosan Only a clean wound can heal. Experience the Prontosan Effect. Contains two main working ingredients: Betaine (Surfactant): A gentle wound surfactant that penetrates and cleanses contaminants from the wound. Polyhexanide (PHMB): A preservative, also known for its antimicrobial properties to reduce bacteria. Traditional irrigation solutions superficially wet wound Irrigation/Soak with Prontosan penetrates and cleanses prior to wound dressing Drop Comparison (surface tension) The Role of Wound Cleansing in Wound Bed Preparation One of the most important principles of proper wound bed preparation is certainly wound cleansing, as only a clean wound can heal rapidly and without complications. Avital tissue such as necrosis and fibrin coating, detritus and a high bacterial load can considerably affect wound healing, resulting in stagnation of the wound healing process. It must be remembered that the treatment of a chronic wound can take several months, and therefore highly effective, gentle and patient-friendly wound cleansing is of great significance. Particular attention should therefore be given to the choice of wound cleansing agent. Important Criteria for a Suitable Wound Cleansing Agent Efficient removal of the bacterial burden or biofilm Broad therapeutic range Maintain optimal wound moisture Product can be warmed Practical application Increase in quality of life (elimination of wound pain and odour) Rapid and gentle elimination of the bioburden (avital tissue) Compatible with common wound dressings Prontosan especially designed for: Chronic wounds Post-radiation wounds Acute wounds 1st & 2nd degree burns Fistulas & Abscesses Use with negative pressure therapy EB Wounds Only a clean wound can heal Prontosan Wound Irrigation Solution 3 year old Wound 1 Wound edges are epithelised but the wound surface is sloughy and the debris coating is hard to remove. Gauze swabs are soaked in Prontosan Irrigation Solution and left on the wound for 10 minutes. Lasts up to 8 weeks once opened. (Excluding single use 40ml solution) Result after 10 minutes soak. The slough and debris coating has been gently and effectively removed from the wound surface, leaving the wound bed prepared for optimal healing. 40ml Ampoule Box/ BN Gauze swabs show evidence of slough and debris after they have been removed. This is the typical result following the Prontosan technique. To continue the Prontosan regime a thin layer of Prontosan Gel can be applied to the wound to provide safe, gentle and effective debridement. 350ml Bottle BN Institution: AZ St Elizabeth, Zottenegern, Wound diagnosis: Venous leg ulcer containated with MRSA, 2006
