What is Wound Cleanser?

Wound care treatment is incomplete without a quality and effective wound cleaner. A wound cleanser or a wound wash helps clean the wound surface of the slough, gets rid of exudate, and keeps the wound site clear of bacteria. These wound-healing solutions are non-irritating and soothing on fragile, sensitive skin. They remove odor-producing dead tissues and bacteria without disturbing the wound bed and interfering with healing. At HPFY, there is a whole line of top-grade wound cleansing solutions that form an integral part of efficient wound care management. We offer quality antimicrobial cleansing agents, wound wash, moisturizers, antiseptic wound cleaner spray, and antimicrobial deodorizers.

What are the uses of Wound Cleaner?

These wound cleansing products reduce the risks of wound infection with their bactericidal, fungicidal, virucidal, and sporicidal properties.
Wound cleansing is important to avert bacterial infections and delayed healing. For a wound to heal quickly, the wound surface should be adequately moist and, at the same time, be free of the slough, necrotic tissues, and exudate remains. These factors, if they persist, can delay recovery.
Wound cleansing solutions will aid in the gentle and painless removal of foreign debris, bacteria, and impurities from a wound area and provide a conducive environment for quick healing. Removal of dead tissues, called debridement, can effectively be done through appropriate wound wash and wound flush.

What should be considered when choosing a Wound Cleaning Solution?

In clinical practice, deciding which cleansing agent to use has been primarily based on local guidelines and personal preference.
An optimal solution for wound cleansing would be:

Reduce the number of pathogenic bacteria
Be non-cytotoxic
Not induce an immune response (be biocompatible)
Be non-sensitizing
Not induce bacterial resistance (see methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus [MRSA])
Be stable with a long shelf life
Be easily accessible
Be cost-effective

When to use Wound Wash?

Wound Spray and wash are indicated for the washing, irrigation, hydration, debridement, and elimination of foreign material, including microorganisms and exudating wound debris or acute and chronic dermal lesions, such as

stage I-IV pressure ulcers
venous insufficiency ulcers
postoperative wounds
first and second-degree burns
Diabetic foot ulcers
skin grafts
donor sites
abrasions or minor irrigation sites
to flush a catheter

Wound cleaners may be indicated at each dressing change or as a solution put in a device that performs irrigation and debridement for use. Wound Wash Solution may also be used before dressing modification or removal to moisten or lubricate absorbent wound dressings.

How to use a Wound Cleanser?

Firstly choose the appropriate cleansing product according to the wound type.
Wash or sanitize your hands before applying the cleanser.
Spray the product over the base and along the edges of the wound.
Use a clean gauze pad to pat up any extra moisture.
Bandage the wound

Wound Cleaning Solution Contraindications

For patients with a known allergy to any of the components of the cleanser, wound cleansers are contraindicated. Always refer to the instructions for use issued by the manufacturer.
