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^® and Flaminal^® Hydro were confirmed in an in vitro as well as an in vivo setting.

Flaminal^® 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
Yeasts
	C albicans

In vivo data shows that by eight days after starting treatment with Flaminal^® 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^® or Flaminal^® Hydro.
