Compounding for Wound Care
Spira-Wash Gel is designed to create a moist wound environment that promotes healing. It is a soft, opaque Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) ointment base containing organic meadowsweet extract. Due to the phenolic glycosides (spiraein) and flavonoids in the meadowsweet, it has the potential for germicidal, anti-inflammatory and healing properties, making it a good choice for wounds, ulcers, burns, sores and cuts.
Spira-Wash Gel is a water-washable base for easy cleansing/debridement. It is adherent, provides occlusion and maintains a moist environment at the wound/dressing interface, which allows for optimal healing. Maintaining a moist environment may also result in decreased pain.
Spira-Wash Gel may be a good choice for:
-
Wounds
-
Ulcers
-
Burns
