How it works

Suitable for all wounds and all wound conditions 1

NECROTIC WOUNDS

Necrotic material can delay healing & promote infection.

INFECTED WOUNDS

Bacteria may impede healing, exacerbate pain and cause malodour.

SLOUGHY WOUNDS

Yellow slough and necrotic material can delay healing & promote infection & risk of maceration in exuding wounds.

GRANULATING WOUNDS

Granulation tissue can be fragile and needs protecting.

How to use

Flaminal® Hydro

Indicated for low to moderately-exuding wounds

The antibacterial component in Flaminal can prevent the formation of biofilms and inhibit established biofilms in vitro.5

Effective against common wound pathogens including MRSA, Pseudomonas.1,2,3

Pseudomonas that showed a high antibiotic resistance were sensitive to the enzyme system in Flaminal showing a log reduction of 5.28 in 6 hours of incubation.2
