Granudacyn
Granudacyn® is an irrigation solution and gel for cleansing and moisturising acute, chronic and contaminated wounds, as well as for superficial and partial thickness burns. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) ensures effective preservation and makes Granudacyn a reliable wound irrigation solution.
Granudacyn can be used for the cleansing, moistening and rinsing of the following wound types:
- All chronic wounds of any depth, such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure injuries, venous leg ulcers etc.
- All acute wounds, cuts, bite wounds, lacerations, abrasions
- Surgical wounds (intraoperative and postoperative)
- Wounds with exposed cartilage, tendons, ligaments or bone
- Superficial and Partial thickness burns
- Radiation ulcers
- Fistulas and abscesses
- Body cavities such as the mouth, nose and ears
- Critically colonised or infected wounds
- Soft tissue injuries
Granudacyn can also be used for moistening the wound dressings and for loosening encrusted wound dressings.
Granudacyn is suitable for multi-patient use for up to 90 days (gel) and 60 days (solution) after opening. To ensure effective use after opening, Granudacyn contains a preservative that naturally occurs in the body: hypochlorous acid. Hypochlorous acid also prevents the proliferation of Gram+ and Gram- bacteria including MRSA, ORSA, VRSA, VRE, viruses, fungi and spores.
- Cleanses the wound mechanically
- Free of germs and pH neutral
- Non-cytotoxic or an irritant
- Free from heavy metals
- HOCI is hypotonic to promote osmolysis and cell rupture
- Reduces wound malodour
Further product information
How it works
Granudacyn® is preserved to allow for a multi-patient use for up to 90 days (gel) and 60 days (solution) after opening. To ensure the effective use after opening, the products are preserved with a substance that naturally occurs in our body:the hypchlorous acid
1. Disrupts the cell wall structures.
The hypochlorus acid in Granudacyn attacks the cell wall of the microorganism and increases its permeability
2. Osmolysis leads to cell rupture.
A hypotonic solution causes water to flow into the cells to equalise the osmotic gradient. The result is osmolysis.
The increasing internal pressure causes the cells to burst.
Granudacyn facilitates the mechanical removal of microorganisms and cell debris. This contributes to the quick elimination of often unpleasant odour and eases wound debridement. Granudacyn can also be left in the wound to soak the wound tissue.
Irrigation solution and spray: for cleaning and for precise application and dosing
1. Cleanse the wound carefully with Granudacyn irrigation solution.
2A. Spray from a distance of approx. 15–30cm onto the cleaned wound.
2B. You can clean the wound directly with Granudacyn or apply it onto the wound with a soaked compress.
3. Granudacyn can also be combined with standard wound dressings.
Granudacyn can be used for instillation with NPWT (negative pressure wound therapy).
Take the NPWT bottle out of the packaging.
Release the carrying handle from the label and pierce the bottle.
Hang the bottle on the carrying handle on the instillation device.
