Broad spectrum antimicrobial effect

Vandenbulcke K, Horvat LI, De Mil M, Slegers G, Beele H. Evaluation of the antibacterial activity and toxicity of 2 new hydrogels: a pilot study. Int.J.Low Extrem.Wounds 2006;5(2):109-14.

In the study described in this report, the antibacterial effects of Flaminal^® Forte and Flaminal^®
Hydro were confirmed in an in vitro as well as an in vivo setting.

Flaminal^® Forte and Flaminal^® Hydro are fully active, in vitro, against

Gram negative bacilli

E coli

P vulgaris

E aerogenes

P aeroginosa

Gram positive cocci

S epidermidis

S aureus

S pyrogenes

Fungi

C albicans

In vivo data shows that by eight days after starting treatment with Flaminal^® Forte or
Flaminal^® Hydro the number of different types of isolated species decreased significantly.

Using the MTT test in cultured keratinocytes, toxicity was not observed with Flaminal^® Forte
or Flaminal^® Hydro.
