  • In case of sunburn or other superficial wounds that cover a big surface, we would not advise covering Flamigel®. Make sure to apply Flamigel® frequently (2 to 6 times daily).

  • For open wounds: change daily.
  • In case of debridement of a necrotic crust, it is recommended to put a thick layer of Flamigel® on the crust and cover the crust for 24 hours.

How do I use Flamigel®?
  • Wash your hands before and after treating the wound.
  • Clean and dry the wound gently before applying Flamigel®.
  • For superficial burns and minor wounds (e. g. grazes, cuts): Carefully apply Flamigel® to the wound (without rubbing) once or twice a day (in case of sunburn apply twice to six times daily). If necessary, cover the wound with a plaster or dressing and change it daily.
  • For superficial open wounds: Apply a thick layer of Flamigel® (5 mm) to the wound minimizing contact with the wound edges, cover Flamigel® with a sterile non-adhesive dressing and fix with a gauze or bandage.

When new skin cells start to form and the wound is closing, apply only a thin layer of Flamigel® to prevent weakening. If necessary, protect the wound edges.

Why should I use Flamigel®?

Flamigel® supports faster healing of the wound by creating an optimal moist wound healing environment.
