Flamigel Hydroactive wound gel

Flamigel Hydroactive wound gel

Flamigel® is a hydroactive colloid gel for the treatment of minor wounds. Flamigel® supports the rapid healing of the skin by covering the wound and creating an optimal moist healing environment. Flamigel® is intended for use after laser therapy, on superficial burns (including those caused by radiotherapy) and on minor wounds (e.g. abrasions, cuts). Flamigel® may also be used on superficial open wounds.
The hydroactive colloid formula of Flamigel® can quickly help relieve the pain of minor wounds thanks to its cooling effect.
Flamigel® helps create optimal healing conditions to
to accelerate cell renewal so that the wound heals quickly and the chance of scarring is reduced.
Moreover, Flamigel® protects the wound by forming a barrier against external contamination

What this product is used for
Flamigel® can be used on dry or moist wounds:
• In the case of a dry wound, Flamigel® transforms the dry wound into a moist wound ("hydrogel" effect). The dry wound absorbs the water contained in Flamigel®. This promotes
Flamigel® helps dissolve necrotic/damaged tissue.
• In the case of a moist wound, the hydrocolloid of Flamigel® is activated, allowing Flamigel® to absorb excess moisture and restore and maintain the moisture balance of the wound ("hydrocolloid" effect)

Instructions for use
Wash your hands before and after treating the wound. Clean and dry the wound gently before applying the gel.
For superficial burns and minor wounds (e.g., abrasions, cuts): Gently apply Flamigel® once or twice a day to the wound (in case of sunburn, use two to six times a day). Do not rub Flamigel®. If necessary, cover the wound with a dressing or plaster that you replace daily.
For superficial open wounds: Apply a thick layer (5 mm) of Flamigel® to the wound, but avoid applying Flamigel® to the wound edges. Cover Flamigel® with a sterile non-adherent dressing and secure with a plaster or bandage. Leave Flamigel® in place as long as the gel structure remains intact. As new skin cells are formed and the wound is nearly closed, apply only a thin layer of Flamigel® to avoid maceration. If necessary,
protect the wound edges.

Contraindications
Do not use Flamigel® if you have known allergic reactions to parabens or any of the ingredients.
Do not use Flamigel® on the eyelids or in the eyes. In case of contact with the eyes, rinse the eyes with running water and consult a doctor.
