ACTOLIND Solution Plus utilizes a smart and synergistic combination of 0.1% Polyhexanide (PHMB) and Poloxamer to care for acute, chronic, infected and burn wounds. Removes biofilms and prevents their formation.
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
