• Inactivation of pathogens
• Octenisept® gel shows excellent inactivation of pathogens after as early as 1 minute. The latter was determined in the quantitative suspension test with high protein exposure (‘dirty conditions’). The results showed that the inactivation of pathogens in octenisept® gel was sufficient against all test organisms after a 1 minute application.

Instructions for use

• Perform hand hygiene before undertaking wound care. Clean the wound with octenisept® wound antiseptic immediately after the injury occurs.

To prevent bacterial contamination, ensure the tip of the gel tube does not come in contact with the wound.
