Iodoform ribbon gauze

Opraclean dressings support wound cleaning by absorbing wound exudate, cell debris and bacteria. Even deep wound pockets and cavities can be packed very well with Opraclean. At the same time, the bandages impregnated with iodoform have an antimicrobial effect. In contact with the wound secretion, iodoform decomposes and continuously releases small amounts of iodine from the dressing. Iodine is known for its broad therapeutic spectrum of action against numerous gram-negative, gram-positive, aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and is also effective against many fungi and viruses. Another advantage: the pathogens are not known to be resistant to iodine.
