ACTOLIND Gel Plus utilizes a smart and synergistic combination of 0.1% Polyhexanide (PHMB) and Poloxamer to care for acute, chronic, infected and burn wounds. It cleans and moisturizes the wound, and prevents dressing materials from sticking onto wound surfaces. Removes biofilms and prevents their formation.
 
Wound and the surrounding area should cleaned thoroughly, ideally with ACTOLIND wound solutions, before applying ACTOLIND w Gel. Wound should subsequently be covered properly with an appropriate dressing.
 
ABOUT BIOFILMS
Nearly all chronic wounds have biofilms. 
 
A biofilm is a microscopic layer of "slime" consisting of a complex community of micro-organisms. Biofilms are attached to wound surfaces and cannot be removed by normal saline and antibiotics. Biofilms cause chronic wound inflammation and impede wound healing.
 
Features
PHMB is a first-line antiseptic for many types of wounds, including infected or colonized chronic wounds and burn wounds
Poloxamer 188 selectively seals damaged portions of cell membranes to promote cell viability and wound healing
Optimized wetting of debris, necrotic tissues, and biofilm layers for more effective detachment and removal from wound
Accelerates the wound healing process
Kills pathogens and prevents re-infection of the cleaned wounds
Tissue compatible and does not cause pain 
Promotes granulation and epithelization
Dermatologically tested - "EXCELLENT"
Patented formulation
Compatible with most modern dressings
 
Intended Use
For the cleaning and moisturization (in combination with appropriate wound dressing) of infected or non-infected acute wounds (e.g. traumatic wounds or surgical wounds, crushes, bites, stings etc), chronic wounds (diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers etc) and burn wounds (thermal, radiation, electrical or chemical wounds)or wound moisturization
Prevents biofilm formation and forms a protective barrier over wound surface
May be applied directly to wound surfaces as well as on bandages and gauzes
Suitable for use on and around urological catheter entry sites, stoma, peristomal skin, fistulas and abcesses
