Description

A single use acidic gel product used for topical application to a chronic wound, to help facilitate
removal of sloughy and damaged tissue by the means of chemical debridement as an alternative to
sharp debridement (the removal of damaged tissue or foreign objects from a wound), followed by
standard cleaning and dressing. Disruption of the biofilm and remove the infection in chronic
wounds in up to 60 seconds. By withdrawing water-molecules from the biofilm, the desiccant gel
rapidly disrupts the biofilm, pathogens and inflammatory proteins in the wound, aiming to turn
chronic wounds into acute wounds. This is an acidic gel that is applied directly on the wound bed
for up to 60 seconds. It is rinsed off with sterile or saline water, after which the natural wound
healing process will start.
