Chemical Wound Debridement Acidic Gel is used for topical application to a chronic wound to help facilitate removal of sloughy and damaged tissue by the means of chemical debridement as an alternative to sharp debridement (the removal of damaged tissue or foreign objects from a wound), followed by standard cleaning and dressing. Disruption of the biofilm and removal of the infection in chronic wounds in up to 60 seconds. By withdrawing water-molecules from the biofilm, the desiccant gel rapidly disrupts the biofilm, pathogens and inflammatory proteins in the wound, aiming to turn chronic wounds into acute wounds. This is an acidic gel that is applied directly onto the wound bed for up to 60 seconds. It is rinsed off with sterile or saline water, after which the natural wound healing process will start.
