Prontosan acute wound gel
For acute wounds and minor burns

1. Intended purpose:
Prontosan Acute Wound Gel is a hydrogel for wound treatment that supports skin healing by forming a protective layer over the wound, thus creating an optimal moist environment for wound healing. Prontosan Acute Wound Gel is intended for the treatment of minor burns and wounds (e.g., abrasions, cuts).

2. Properties:
Prontosan Acute Wound Gel contains a hydrocolloid with a skin-neutral pH that promotes an optimal moist environment for wound healing, thus reducing the likelihood of scarring. Furthermore, Prontosan Acute Wound Gel provides rapid pain relief due to its cooling effect. Prontosan Acute Wound Gel is a ready-to-use, clear, colorless, and odorless hydrogel. The gel is non-irritating, well-tolerated, and painless to apply. Since it contains neither perfume nor dyes, it leaves no stains on skin or tissue. Prontosan Acute Wound Gel is dermatologically tested. The excellent tissue compatibility of polihexanide and betaine surfactants has been demonstrated over many years of clinical use. As an additional benefit to its primary action, Prontosan Acute Wound Gel is effective against clinically relevant pathogenic microorganisms, including multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs).

3. Instructions for use:
For minor burns and superficial wounds (e.g., abrasions, cuts). Do not use the gel on heavily weeping or infected wounds. Wash your hands before and after treating a wound. Gently clean and dry the wound before applying the gel. Carefully apply Prontosan Acute Wound Gel to the wound once or twice daily (two to six times daily for sunburn) without rubbing. If necessary, cover the wound with a plaster or bandage and change it daily. Prontosan Acute Wound Gel should not be used continuously for more than 30 days.
