Troubleshooting
Wound does not appear to be healing faster.
Ensure the wound is properly cleansed and irrigated with Prontosan at each dressing change. Verify that all other aspects of wound care, such as debridement and appropriate dressing selection, are being addressed.
Mild skin irritation occurs around the wound.
Discontinue use if significant irritation develops and consult with a healthcare professional. Ensure the solution is not applied excessively to intact periwound skin.
Solution appears cloudy or discolored.
Do not use the product if the solution's appearance has changed. Check the expiry date and ensure the container has not been compromised.
Wound odor persists.
While Prontosan helps reduce odor, persistent or worsening odor may indicate an infection. Consult a healthcare professional for evaluation.
