Wound cleansing can be part of care for both acute and chronic wounds, as well as burns, ulcers and surgical sites.

Its diluted concentration offers a specific option for people seeking a wound cleanser rather than a general-purpose household disinfectant.

What kinds of wounds is Dakin's Solution made to cleanse?

Dakin's Solution is designed for cleansing acute and chronic wounds, burns, ulcers and surgical sites. The solution is used to flush away dirt, dead tissue and microorganisms from the wound area, helping create an environment that supports the body's natural healing process. It is intended for wound-care use, including routine cleansing as dressings are changed.

• Wound cleansing for acute and chronic wounds
• Also designed for burns, ulcers and surgical sites

How does the 0.25% wound cleanser work?

The half-strength sodium hypochlorite formula works as an antimicrobial cleanser on skin and wounds. It is designed to kill a broad range of pathogens, while helping reduce wound odor and infection risk. The formula is also designed to be gentler on skin and tissue than harsh disinfectants, making it suitable for regular cleansing during dressing changes. These are wound-cleansing benefits; the solution is not a guarantee of healing or infection prevention.

• Helps flush out dirt, dead tissue and microorganisms
• Designed to support a healthier wound environment
