LAVANOX®®-Serag® Wound Irrigation Solution, 1000 ml, bottle

LAVANOX^®®-Serag^® Wound Irrigation Solution and LAVANOX^®®-Serag^® Wound Spray are medical devices based on an electrochemically activated mineral salt solution with <0.08% sodium hypochlorite/hypochlorous acid (NaOCl/HOCl). The sodium hypochlorite/hypochlorous acid contained in LAVANOX^®®-Serag^® is a reliable and effective preservative and makes LAVANOX^®®-Serag^® a well-tolerated and efficient wound irrigation solution. The mechanical effect of LAVANOX^®®-Serag^® ensures a thorough cleansing of the wound and surrounding area, thus creating a milieu that promotes healing. It also eliminates unpleasant wound odours quickly and reliably.

  LAVANOX^®®-Serag^® is used for the cleansing, moistening, mechanical decontamination and prevention of infection of the wound; it is suitable for both acute and chronic wounds, especially contaminated and dirty wounds with a high risk of infection. LAVANOX^®®-Serag^® helps to remove biofilms and fibrinoid residues efficiently and gently and enables a relatively painless removal of dressings that are encrusted and difficult to detach. LAVANOX^®®-Serag^® Wound Irrigation Solution 1000 ml is suitable for use in negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT).

  The electrolysis process reduces the cluster size of the water from 15-20 molecules to approx. 5-7 molecules, thereby greatly reducing the surface tension.^1,4 This enables effective cleaning in even the most difficult to access wound areas.^1,4 This mechanical rinsing effect allows LAVANOX^®®-Serag^® to significantly reduce the microbial load of the wound and achieve an effective and fast cleaning performance. ⁸ Furthermore, if used regularly, it can prevent an infection of the wound.

  The wound should first be cleaned to remove dirt, blood and residues. For this, the affected areas are rinsed with LAVANOX^®®-Serag^® or moistened with several puffs of spray. Rinsing with another solution is not necessary after using LAVANOX^®®-Serag^®. There are no restrictions regarding the frequency and duration of use. The application of LAVANOX^®®-Serag^® does not cause any irritation or itching and only minimal pain.

  Water, <0.08% sodium hypochlorite/hypochlorous acid (electrochemically activated mineral salt solution)
