ARMA-GEL+ STERILE MEDICAL HYDROGEL DRESSINGS WITH LIDOCAINE contain local anesthetic drug, lidocaine (lidocaine; 2-diethylamine o-2’, 6’-dimethylacetanilide hydrochloride monohydrate), which is effective for surface local anesthesia. Lidocaine inhibits transferring of not only pain impulses, but impulses of another modality. Its effect is due to the stabilization of the neuronal membrane due to the decrease in its permeability for sodium ions, which prevents the emergence of the potential of action and conduction of nerve impulses on the nerve fibers. It is rapidly hydrolyzed in the light-alkaline medium of tissues and after a short latent period it operates within 1-1.5 hours. Antagonism with calcium ions can be possible. The anesthetic effect of lidocaine is 2-6 times stronger than novocaine (procaine). When administered locally, lidocaine dilates blood vessels, does not induce local irritation. Concentration of lidocaine in the dressing does not exceed 2%. With active inflammation in the wound, the anesthetic activity of lidocaine may decrease.
ARMA-GEL+ STERILE MEDICAL HYDROGEL DRESSINGS WITH LIDOCAINE can be used to provide first emergency care for burns, various surface injuries without abundant bleeding, for the treatment of wounds, postoperative wounds, trophic ulcers, bedsores, inflammatory processes and skin diseases, accompanied by intense pain, itching, heartburn.
ARMA+GEL+ STERILE MEDICAL HYDROGEL DRESSINGS WITH LIDOCAINE is intended only for external use (on the skin, on the wound (burn) surface, on dead tissue). It is prescribed by a physician, taking into account the necessary technique and duration of treatment.
Depending on the condition of the wound and the wound phase, the wound dressing time is determined individually by a physician, but it can not exceed 48 hours.
