Introduction

Topical antimicrobials can demonstrate non specific damage to human cells.  In vivo clinical data has demonstrated that Flaminal^® and Flaminal^® Hydro are non-cytotoxic to those cells involved in wound healing, such as keratinocytes and fibroblasts.  Keratinocytes are key cells involved in wound healing and migrate from the wound edges to cover the wound, thus reducing the surface area of the wound.  Fibroblasts help form granulation tissue, which results in a decreased wound volume. 

In addition, Flaminal^® (Hydro) is active against a range of Gram negative bacilli, Gram positive cocci and fungi.
