KEY FEATURES
• Flamigel® hydro-active colloid formulation can quickly help soothe the pain of minor wounds due to its cooling effect.
• Flamigel® helps to create optimal healing conditions to accelerate cell renewal, allowing the wound to heal fast and so reduce the likelihood of scarring.
• Flamigel® also cushions the wound to provide a barrier against external contamination.
• Flamigel® can be used for dry or wet wounds:
• In case of a dry wound Flamigel® turns the dry wound into a moist one ("hydrogel" effect). The dry wound absorbs the water contained in Flamigel® and promotes the dissolution of necrotic/damaged tissue.
• In case of a wet wound, the hydrocolloid of Flamigel® is activated and consequently Flamigel® absorbs excessive fluid from the wound and restores and maintains the water balance in the wound ("hydrocolloid" effect).
Directions
How to use
Wash hands before and after treating the wound. Clean and dry the wound gently before applying the gel.
For superficial burns and minor wounds (e.g grazes, cuts): Carefully apply Flamigel® to the wound (without rubbing) once or twice per day (in case of sunburn apply twice to six times daily). If necessary, cover the wound with a plaster or dressing and change daily.
For superficial open wounds: Apply a thick layer of Flamigel® (5 mm) to the wound minimising contact with the wound edges. Cover Flamigel® with a sterile non-adhesive dressing and fix with gauze or a bandage. Leave Flamigel® in place as long as the gel structure is intact. When new skin cells start to form and the wound is closing, only apply a thin layer of Flamigel® to prevent weakening. If necessary, protect the wound edges.
For open wounds: Change daily. clean dry apply cover.

• Wash hands before and after removing Flamigel®.
