Prontosan is a unique antimicrobial wound spray containing 0.1% Betaine (surfactant) and 0.1% Polyhexanide (preservative) that supports rapid wound healing by effective cleansing and moistening of superficial wounds and burns. Additionally, for the cleansing of entry ports such as transurethral or suprapubic urological catheters, PEG/PEJ tubes and peristomal skin areas. Prontosan is specifically indicated to prevent and remove biofilms.
How Does it Work?
Betaine is a gentle surfactant (detergent) molecule, structured with a hydrophilic head (attracted to water) and a hydrophobic tail (repeals water). Due to its hydrophobic tail, the molecule binds its self to the biofilm layer in the wound. When multiple Betaine molecules bind to the biofilm, their equally charged electric polar heads pull away from each other causing the biofilm to split open. Betaine molecules then engulf the biofilm, removing it from the wound bed and allowing the Polyhexanide to attach itself to the bacteria.
Polyhexanide (PHMB) is an antimicrobial molecule that is active against bacteria and yeast. PHMB is a positively charged molecule that acts as a magnet to the negatively charged bacteria molecules, causing it to bind together and pull away from the bacteria cell wall. Once the bacteria's cell wall begins to breakdown the cytoplasm (the fluid inside the cell) leaks out of the cell, causing it to die. Due to the PHMB molecule's positive charge, it then prevents bacteria from adhering to the wound, preventing re-formation of biofilm.
Areas of Use:
- Superficial acute and chronic wounds
- Superficial burns
- Urological catheters
- PEG/PEJ tubes
- Peristomal skin areas
- Supports removal of encrusted bandages
Benefits of Prontosan Spray:
- Prevents wound infection
- Supports wound healing
- Prevents MDRO contamination
- Prevents biofilm formation
- Reduces pain
- Painless application
- Can be used up to 12 months after first opening
