The clinical experience shows that ChloraSolv has strong debridement efficacy, as well as good safety and ease of use. It means that the technology can be used by any health care professional involved in wound care, regardless of their skills and experience. Therefore, it can easily be incorporated into all wound management pathways.
In total 30 patients were treated with ChloraSolv. Most of the patients in the case studies were previously unable to tolerate debridement due to the pain and discomfort it caused them, which greatly impaired healing. This has had a significant negative effect on their quality of life. The gentle action of ChloraSolv made the debridement acceptable and tolerable to the patient.
"RLS Global continues to work in close collaboration with ConvaTec to collect clinical data and experience of ChloraSolv. This is the first published report sharing data of the implementation of ChloraSolv in practice. We are of course very satisfied with the outcome and the fact that Journal of Wound Care is publishing the supplement", says Karin Fischer, CEO, RLS Global.
"The conclusion that ChloraSolv can be used by all health care professionals and is gentle and efficient for the patients has a significant impact on the treatment of hard to heal wounds, from a health economic perspective".

THIS IS CHLORASOLV
ChloraSolv is a wound debridement gel, based on a unique hypochlorite technology, which is used with very good effect on hard-to-heal leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers. The gel allows the gentle removal of devitalised tissue and promotes natural wound healing.[1] ChloraSolv does not damage healthy tissue and is well tolerated by the patient.
