Granudacyn® Wound Irrigation solution is a ready-to-use, wound irrigation solution for the cleaning and irrigation of acute, chronic and contaminated wounds. Cleaning of wounds prevents wound infection. In wounds that are already infected, adjuvant\nwound irrigation can help to significantly reduce the microbial load. This results from the mechanical effect of the irrigation, thus promoting wound healing.
Granudacyn® Wound Irrigation solution can be used for the thorough cleaning of:
• all chronic wounds of any depth, such as: diabetic foot ulcer, all forms of leg ulcer, pressure sores
• all acute wounds such as cuts, bites, lacerations, burst wounds and abrasions
• surgical wounds (intraoperative and postoperative)
• wounds with exposed cartilage, tendons, ligaments or bone
• 1st and 2nd degree burns
• radiation ulcers
• fistulas and abscesses
• body cavities such as the mouth, nose and ears
