An antiseptic is a product that eliminates or prevents the growth of bacteria or viruses. It is used on the surface of the body (disinfectants are used on medical and other equipment). Antiseptics can be fungicidal (against fungi), bactericidal (against bacteria), virucidal (against viruses) or sporicidal (against spores), but in general they combine all these functions. They are applied locally to the area to be treated.

What are the risks and complications associated with a non-disinfected wound?

Some wounds involve serious risks and require prompt medical attention. This is particularly true of open wounds that are deep, extensive and bleeding, and which could damage tendons, nerves or blood vessels.

Wounds can also worsen, leading to complications such as

• local skin infection
• necrosis or death of skin tissue
• delayed wound healing
• abnormal or unsightly healing
• tetanus risk, particularly if vaccination is delayed.

How can complications from infected wounds be prevented?

Complications arising from wounds can be avoided by following a few simple steps:

• treat and dress the wound correctly, disinfecting it with transcutaneous Hexomedine
• monitor theinfectious state of the wound, and seek prompt medical advice if symptoms such as redness, swelling, pus discharge, renewed bleeding, increased pain or fever appear.
