Prontosan®

Millions of animals have acute or chronic wounds and surgical conditions that require aggressive therapy.

Prontosan Wound Irrigation Solution and Prontosan Wound Gel combine two ingredients to maximize antimicrobial efficacy.

• PHMB (Polyhexanide) functions as a preservative (also found in contact lens solution) that inhibits the growth of microorganisms within the product. How PHMB Works: When the PHMB comes in contact with bacteria, the outer cell wall of the bacteria is disrupted resulting in leakage of cytoplasm and cell death. As a consequence, cell replication ceases and mutation can not occur. PHMB has been in use for over 60 years and has shown no bacterial resistance.
• Betaine (surfactant) is a surface-active cleanser that provides immediate debridement. The STAR ingredient is a gentle, effective surfactant which is able to penetrate, disturb, clean and remove wound debris by destroying Biofilm.
