POWDER
Each gram contains :
- Cadexomer lodine………………………………. 1000 mg
- (Equivalent to 0.9% w/w lodine)
Description
- Cadexomer iodine (CI) has iodine enclosed in a cadexomer particle. The cadexomer particle is a 3D cross-linked polysaccharide starch matrix in which 0.9% iodine is physically enclosed. lodine is released only when the cadexomer comes in contact with wound fluid.
- Dual mode of action Cadexomer iodine has good absorptive properties: 1 g of cadexomer iodine can absorb up to 6 ml of fluid. As fluid is absorbed, iodine is slowly released, reducing the bacterial load and also debriding the wound of debris. This mode of action facilitates the delivery of iodine over a prolonged period of time-thus, in theory, maintaining a constant level of iodine in the wound bed.
- Cl has long been used effectively in chronic wounds and is supported by many clinical studies demonstrating the removal of barriers to healing, such as microbial infection, slough/debris, and exudates.
Indications
- Cadexomer lodine is indicated for the treatment of chronic exuding wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and infected traumatic and surgical wounds.
