FAQ
1. How does Hansaplast Wound Healing Ointment work?
Hansaplast Wound Healing Ointment supports the healing of minor superficial wounds such as cuts, abrasions, scratches, first degree and smaller second degree burns by building a breathable protective film that prevents the wound from drying out. This creates optimal moist wound healing conditions, which promotes the natural healing process of the skin and can reduce the risk of scarring.
2. Does Hansaplast wound healing ointment contain animal-derived substances?
No. Hansaplast Wound Healing Ointment is free of fragrances, colorants, preservatives and animal derived substances.
3. How should I use Hansaplast Wound Healing Ointment?
Carefully apply a thin film of Hansaplast Wound Healing Ointment one to two times per day. For hygiene reasons, make sure the opening of the tube does not get in contact with your wound or other surfaces. Repeat regularly until healing of the wound is complete. Hansaplast Wound Healing Ointment can be used during any stage of the healing process. If necessary, cover the wound with a Hansaplast plaster, dressing or compress. Change plasters, dressings or compresses daily unless recommended otherwise by your doctor.
4. Can I use the Hansaplast Wound Spray before applying the Wound Healing Ointment?
Yes. Hansaplast Wound Spray is suitable for use before the application of Hansaplast Wound Healing Ointment. For more information about Hansaplast Wound Spray, see the product page here.
5. What should I do if my wound shows signs of infection?
If wounds are large with heavy exudate or signs of infection, a doctor should always be consulted. This is also the case if redness, swelling or pain develops at the wound area, the condition gets worse or the wound healing process does not start within a few days. If there’s any doubt, see a doctor.
