Polyhexanide, Betaine, Nanosilver, Bitrex
Application:
1- Prior to using the gel, it is advised to clean and decontaminate the wound using a wound irrigation fluid or perform surgical treatment if necessary. This step removes impurities and creates optimal conditions for further treatment.
2- Squeeze the gel tube and apply a thin layer (3-5 mm) directly onto the wound. Alternatively, a sterile spatula can be used for application. For deep wounds, fill the wound with gel up to two-thirds of its depth, ensuring it does not protrude above the skin surrounding the wound.
3- The wound should be covered with a secondary dressing. If the gel is changed daily, a secondary dressing is necessary to protect it from the animal licking it. The frequency of dressing changes depends on the procedure, nature, and condition of the wound. The gel can be changed daily or left in the wound for up to three days.
4- When changing the dressing, gently rinse any gel residues or other residues using a wound irrigation solution, taking care not to damage the wound. Various types of secondary dressings such as gauze or compresses can be used, and they can be soaked with the gel for enhanced effectiveness.
