The Prontosan® Difference

Millions of people around the world who have acute or chronic wounds are looking for fast, lasting healing. B. Braun's innovative Prontosan^®Wound Solutions and Gels are designed for optimal wound management.

The Prontosan Wound Care Products combine to maximize cleansing power with these two ingredients contained within each product:

PHMB (Polyhexanide) functions as a preservative (also found in contact lens solution) that inhibits the growth of microorganisms within the product. How PHMB Works: When the PHMB comes in contact with bacteria, the outer cell wall of the bacteria is disrupted resulting in leakage of cytoplasm and cell death. As a consequence, cell replication ceases and mutation can not occur.

Betaine (surfactant) is a surface-active cleanser that provides immediate debridement.
