1. What is Peroxygel 3.0 and what is it used for
Peroxygel 3.0 is hydrogen peroxide in the form of a gel.
The suitable form prevents the medicine from flowing out of the application site, thanks to a delicate protective film formed on the surface, which protects damaged skin.
The medicine contains hydrogen peroxide as an active substance at a concentration of 3%.
Hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and active atomic oxygen under the influence of enzymes found in tissues and many bacteria. This reaction occurs quickly in the presence of blood, pus, and necrotic tissue. The released oxygen creates foam and removes microorganisms from the disinfected site, destroys blood cells flowing from the wound, and mechanically cleans exposed cells due to skin damage from debris of damaged tissue. Oxygen also acts as a deodorant, bleaching, and bactericidal agent. Conducted studies have confirmed that the gel acts bactericidally within 1 minute on Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Peroxygel 3.0 also acts fungicidally on pathogenic yeast, particularly Candida albicans, and other fungi, such as Aspergillus niger.
Peroxygel 3.0 is indicated for the disinfection of wounds, abrasions, and skin scratches.
