A high bacterial bioburden negatively impacts on healing, and the wound infection
continuum is a useful tool for identifying the degree of bacterial colonisation of a wound,

colonised and infected.

Flaminal®ʼs unique antimicrobial properties ensure the bacterial balance is restored
whatever the bacterial bioburden.
