Prontosan® Wound Solution is a wound cleanser (irrigation solution) for wound decontamination. It contains two key ingredients:
Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), an antimicrobial agent (0.1%)
Betaine, a surfactant (0.1%)
 
In Prontosan, the combination of PHMB with a surfactant (betaine) has an increased ability to penetrate difficult-to-remove coatings, lifting debris, bacteria and biofilm from the wound. This is supported by clinical evaluations that have reported increased healing rates and reduced incidence of wound infection.
 
*Biofilms are complex microbial communities living within a three-dimensional extracellular polysaccaride (EPS) matrix embedded in a thick slimy blanket of sugars and proteins. The matrix acts as a barrier, protecting the micro-organisms from cellular and chemical attack. Biofilms delay wound healing.
 
Indication:
Cleansing and decontamination of skin wounds and burns
Traumatic wounds
Postoperative wounds
Chronic skin ulcers (e.g. venous, diabetic or pressure ulcers
Thermal wounds
Chemical wounds (acid- and alkali-induced)
