Flaminal® Hydro/Forte
Comprehensive care for exuding wounds
Flaminal® supports the natural healing of acute and chronic wounds. With its unique formulation, Flaminal® offers versatile wound management, provides continuous debridement, keeps the wound moist and offers antimicrobial protection to speed up healing process.
What is Flaminal®?
Debriding Gel
dissolves necrotic tissue and fibrinous slough and absorbs them from the wound bed
Absorbent Alginate
absorbs excess exudate, enables autolytic debridement (cleaning of wound and absorption of bacteria)
Antimicrobial Enzyme System
offers antimicrobial protection, and reduces bacteria released from a biofilms
Benefits of Flaminal®

What makes Flaminal® different?
- Flaminal® combines an absorbent alginate with an antimicrobial enzyme system. 1,3

- Flaminal® ensures optimal wound conditions and supports wound healing from the start of treatment. 2
