Description

Prontosan® Wound Irrigation Solution, developed by B. Braun, is an essential tool in advanced wound care management. This colourless and odourless liquid is specifically formulated to cleanse, rinse, and moisturize a wide variety of wounds, including acute, chronic, and burn wounds. Its primary function is to effectively prevent and remove biofilm and wound debris, making it suitable for surgical, traumatic, post-operative wounds, as well as chronic skin ulcers and superficial to deep partial thickness burns.

Key Ingredients

  • Betaine (0.1%): Acts as a surfactant to penetrate and remove biofilm and debris.
  • Polyhexanide (PHMB, 0.1%): Provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection against bacteria and yeast, enhancing wound hygiene.

Benefits

Prontosan® is designed to be left on the wound without rinsing, providing continuous cleansing action. It is compatible with a range of wound dressings, including silver, hydrofibre, and silicone foam dressings. The solution can be warmed to body temperature for comfort and is intended for single patient use, with specific guidelines for bottle reuse to maintain sterility.

Application

During dressing changes, Prontosan® can be used for rinsing and soaking wounds. It is effective with a soak time as short as one minute and should not be combined with other wound cleansers, except normal saline. The application involves thorough cleansing of the wound and surrounding skin, using compresses as needed, followed by appropriate dressing.

Precautions

Prontosan® should not be used by individuals with known sensitivity to its ingredients. It is not suitable for use on third-degree burns, CNS, meninges, middle/inner ear, eyes, or hyaline cartilage during surgery. Caution is advised for lactating women and young children, and it should not be stored in direct sunlight or refrigerated.

Safety Information

The solution is non-flammable, non-explosive, and poses minimal risk under normal use conditions. It may cause eye irritation and skin sensitisation in susceptible individuals and should be kept away from aquatic environments due to potential long-term effects. Proper disposal and storage in a cool, ventilated area are recommended.

Packaging

Prontosan® is available in various packaging formats, including single-use 40 ml ampoules and larger 350 ml and 1000 ml bottles. This versatility allows for tailored usage according to specific medical needs, ensuring effective wound management across different healthcare settings.
