Frequently Asked Questions About Actolind® Wound Care

Find clear answers about Actolind® wound care products, their intended support areas, application logic and product differences.

What is Actolind® W Solution?

Actolind® W Solution is a wound care solution used to provide cleansing, irrigation, and antimicrobial care support in wound management.rnrnIts formulation contains Polyhexanide (PHMB) and Poloxamer. Poloxamer helps the solution spread across the wound surface and facilitates the removal of materials such as exudate, debris, dried residues, and biofilm from the wound, while PHMB provides antimicrobial care support.rnrnTherefore, Actolind® W Solution should not be regarded merely as “a solution that irrigates the wound.” It can be used as part of wound care to support wound bed cleansing and microbial control.

Can Actolind Gel Plus be mixed with another medical cream, ointment, or antibiotic ointment before being applied to the wound?

No. Actolind products should not be mixed with another cream, ointment, or chemical substance before application.

Actolind gels and solutions have patented formulations in which the molecular balance of the PHMB and Poloxamer components, the biocompatibility index, and the pH level (5.0–7.5) have been specifically optimized. Therefore, mixing the product with another cream, ointment, or chemical substance may:

Impair its protective film-forming and moisture-retention properties.
Reduce or completely eliminate its antimicrobial efficacy.
Adversely affect tissue compatibility and cause irritation.

For this reason, Actolind products should be applied directly and alone to the wound bed. If a different cream or ointment has also been prescribed by a physician, the products should not be mixed; they should be used separately, following the sequence and time intervals recommended by the physician.

Can Actolind W Gel be mixed with another medical cream, ointment, or antibiotic ointment before being applied to the wound?

No. Actolind products should not be mixed with other creams, ointments, or chemical substances before application.

Actolind gels and solutions have patented formulations in which the molecular balance, biocompatibility index, and pH level (5.0–7.5) of the PHMB and Poloxamer components have been specifically optimized. Therefore, mixing the product with another cream, ointment, or chemical substance may:

Disrupt its protective film-forming and moisture-retaining properties.
Reduce its antimicrobial activity or eliminate it completely.
Adversely affect tissue compatibility and cause irritation.

For this reason, Actolind products should be applied directly and independently to the wound bed. If another cream or ointment has been prescribed by a physician, the products should not be mixed; they should be applied separately according to the sequence and intervals recommended by the physician.

Are Actolind products effective for wounds caused by eczema and for scars that remain beneath the skin?

Actolind products (Solution and Gel) can be used on open lesions or wounds caused by eczema to help prevent infection, cleanse the affected area, and support faster healing by keeping the wound moist. However, these products are not eczema creams or scar-removal treatments. They are not intended to eliminate fully healed scars beneath the skin or to treat the underlying cause of eczema.

Does the product cause a burning or stinging sensation when applied to a wound, similar to alcohol, tincture of iodine, or hydrogen peroxide?

No, it does not cause a burning or painful sensation. Thanks to its alcohol-free and tissue-friendly formulation, it is fully compatible with mucous membranes and sensitive tissues. It does not cause irritation, burning, or discomfort during application, allowing dressing changes to be carried out comfortably and painlessly.

Is Actolind Gel Plus suitable for use in the care or treatment of facial acne?

Actolind Gel Plus is not a product specifically developed for acne treatment and should not be used for the direct treatment of acne. Acne is a dermatological condition in which multiple factors may play a role, including sebaceous gland activity, follicular occlusion, hormonal factors, and microorganisms such as Cutibacterium acnes. Therefore, appropriate diagnosis and treatment should be determined by a dermatologist.

However, due to the antimicrobial activity provided by PHMB (Polyhexanide) and its properties that support cleansing of the skin surface, Actolind Gel Plus may be considered as supportive care in acne management. Particularly during the healing of acne-related wounds, it may help maintain the microbial load on the skin surface under control and help prevent the proliferation of certain bacteria.

Actolind Gel Plus may:

Help keep the skin surface clean.
Support the maintenance of microbial balance on skin areas with increased microbial characteristics.
Provide supportive care in cases where skin integrity is compromised or where irritation or small superficial lesions are present.

However, Actolind Gel Plus should not be regarded as a product that treats acne on its own or completely eliminates acne. During acne treatment, it may be used in addition to treatments recommended by a dermatologist as supportive care for skin cleansing and microbial load control.

The method and suitability of use should be evaluated based on the type of acne, skin sensitivity, and other treatments being used.

What is Actolind® W Solution used for?

The primary purpose of Actolind® W Solution is to cleanse the wound and support wound care.rnrnOver time, exudate, blood residues, crusts, debris, necrotic tissue residues, or biofilm may be present on the wound surface. Removing these materials facilitates wound bed assessment and wound care.rnrnActolind® W Solution also provides antimicrobial care support through its PHMB content. In current wound care practice, therapeutic wound cleansing is considered an important component of wound management.

Is Actolind W Gel suitable for the care or treatment of facial pimples (acne)?

Actolind W Gel has not been specifically developed for acne treatment and is not intended to directly treat acne. Acne is a multifactorial dermatological condition in which factors such as sebaceous gland activity, pore blockage, hormonal factors, and microorganisms such as Cutibacterium acnes may play a role; therefore, the appropriate treatment approach should be determined through dermatological evaluation.

However, the antimicrobial activity provided by PHMB (Polyhexanide) in Actolind W Gel and its properties that support cleansing of the skin surface may be considered supportive in acne-related care. Particularly as part of acne management, supporting skin hygiene, helping control the microbial load on the skin surface, and maintaining the skin barrier may be important.

Actolind W Gel may:

Help keep the skin surface clean.
Support the control of the microbial load on the skin through its antimicrobial properties.
Provide supportive care in areas where skin integrity is compromised, irritated, or where small superficial lesions are present.

However, Actolind W Gel should not be regarded as a product that treats pimples on its own or completely eliminates acne. During acne treatment, it may be used as supportive care alongside treatments recommended by a dermatologist, with the aim of supporting skin cleansing and microbial load control.

The method and suitability of use should be evaluated according to the type of acne, skin sensitivity, and other treatments being used.

Can this solution be beneficial for chronic wounds that have persisted for approximately 10 years, commonly referred to as “living wounds,” in patients who cannot undergo surgery due to adva

Yes, it can be highly beneficial. One of the main factors preventing long-standing chronic wounds from healing is the presence of resistant bacteria and biofilm. The Poloxamer in Actolind Solution (or Solution Plus) helps remove biofilm and necrotic tissue, while PHMB helps control infection and initiates the wound’s natural healing process (granulation).

For elderly patients who are not suitable candidates for surgery, it can help reduce the burden of wound care and support safe wound management.

What is Actolind Gel Plus and what is its primary function?

Actolind Gel Plus is a wound care gel with protective, moisturizing, and antimicrobial properties, used in the care of acute and chronic wounds, infected or non-infected wounds, and first- and second-degree burns. Thanks to the combination of Polyhexanide (PHMB) and Poloxamer in its formulation, it provides a multifaceted effect that supports wound care.

Its primary functions are:

Keeps the wound surface moist: Helps maintain the optimal moist wound environment required for healing.

Forms a protective film layer: Protects the wound surface from external factors while creating a barrier between the wound and the dressing, helping to provide protection and prevent the dressing from adhering to the wound.

Provides antimicrobial protection: Its PHMB content helps control the microbial load on the wound surface and contributes to reducing the risk of recontamination.

Supports wound care: Helps manage necrotic tissue, crusts, and biofilm formation; supports natural wound healing by maintaining granulation and epithelialization processes.

Facilitates dressing changes: By forming a protective layer between the wound and the dressing, the gel helps make dressing changes more comfortable and atraumatic.

Actolind Gel Plus can be used as part of an appropriate wound care protocol for many types of wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, and first- and second-degree burns. For optimal results, it is recommended that the wound surface first be cleansed with Actolind W Solution, followed by the application of Actolind Gel Plus.

What does Actolind® W Solution contain?

The key components of Actolind® W Solution are Polyhexanide (PHMB) and Poloxamer.rnrnPHMB contributes to the product’s antimicrobial properties, while Poloxamer, through its surfactant properties, helps wet the wound surface and supports the cleansing process.rnrnThe combination of these two components enables the product to provide both cleansing and antimicrobial care support in a single application.

Actolind W Gel can be used as part of an appropriate wound care protocol for many wound types, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, and first- and second-degree burns. For best results, it is recommended that the wound surface first be cleansed with Actolind W Solution, followed by the application of Actolind W Gel.

Can Actolind Solution be drawn from the bottle using a sterile syringe and then applied?

Yes, it can. Particularly for deep, cavitary wounds or wounds with narrow openings, the solution can be drawn from the bottle using a sterile syringe and applied directly to the wound bed for pressurized irrigation. The product’s 5 ml and 10 ml single-use Monodose Strip ampoules are also a practical alternative for this purpose.

What are the main active ingredients in Actolind Gel Plus?

Its main active ingredients are Polyhexanide (PHMB, 0.1%) and Poloxamer.

Why are PHMB and Poloxamer used together in Actolind® W Solution?

These two components support two different needs of the product.rnrnPoloxamer: Helps cleanse and wet the wound surface.rnrnPHMB: Provides antimicrobial care support.rnrnTherefore, Actolind® W Solution provides a wound care approach that supports not only physical cleansing but also microbial control.

What are the main active ingredients in Actolind W Gel?

The main active ingredients are Polyhexanide (PHMB, 0.1%) and Poloxamer.

What is the main difference between Actolind W Solution and Solution Plus? Which is more effective for treating foot wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers?

Both product lines contain the same main active ingredients (PHMB and Poloxamer) and are intended for similar purposes. Solution Plus contains an additional surfactant, which lowers surface tension (34.42 mN/m) and improves its wetting and cleansing performance.

Although both products are highly effective for foot wounds, Actolind Solution Plus may be preferred particularly for resistant wounds with heavy biofilm, crusting, or difficult drainage, due to its lower surface tension.

Is Actolind® W Solution an antiseptic?

In product communications, it is more appropriate to describe Actolind® W Solution as an antimicrobial wound care solution.rnrnDue to its PHMB content, it has antimicrobial activity. However, rather than describing the product’s intended use solely as an “antiseptic,” defining it in terms of wound cleansing, irrigation, and antimicrobial care support more accurately reflects its intended use.

What is the effect of PHMB in Actolind Gel Plus on the wound?

Polyhexamethylene Biguanide (PHMB 0.1%) provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection, helping to control the microbial load on the wound surface. By binding to the bacterial membrane, it helps reduce the microbial load. At the same time, its high tissue compatibility supports the wound healing process.

What is the effect of PHMB in Actolind W Gel on the wound?

Polyhexamethylene Biguanide (PHMB, 0.1%) provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection, helping control the microbial load on the wound surface. It acts by binding to bacterial membranes, thereby helping reduce the microbial burden. Its high tissue compatibility also supports the wound-healing process.

Can Actolind products be used for burn wounds, pressure ulcers (bedsores), and care of PEG (feeding tube) sites?

Yes, they can be safely used in all of these areas.

Burns: They are among the preferred options for cleansing and moisturizing first- and second-degree thermal, chemical, and friction burns.

Pressure Ulcers: They are effective for cleansing stage 2, 3, and 4 pressure ulcers and protecting the wound with gel.

PEG and Catheter Care: They are indicated for cleansing the peristomal skin (the area around the PEG tube) and catheter insertion sites, as well as helping protect these areas from infection.

What is the function of Poloxamer in Actolind W Gel?

Poloxamer 188 acts as a surfactant, helping remove dirt, exudate, necrotic tissue residues, and biofilm from the wound surface. It also helps maintain wound moisture, contributing to an optimal environment for wound healing.

What is the function of Poloxamer in Actolind Gel Plus?

Poloxamer 188: Due to its surfactant properties, it helps remove dirt, exudate, necrotic tissue residues, and biofilm formation from the wound surface. It also helps maintain an optimal wound healing environment by supporting moisture retention in the wound.

Why is it important to cleanse wounds with Actolind® W Solution?

Exudate, blood, debris, crusts, necrotic material, and structures formed by microorganisms may accumulate on the wound surface. These may make wound bed assessment and wound care more difficult.rnrnCurrent wound care consensus recommendations support therapeutic cleansing of the wound bed and surrounding area during dressing changes.rnrnAt this cleansing stage, Actolind® W Solution helps remove residues from the wound surface, while PHMB provides antimicrobial care support.

What is the difference in formulation between Actolind W Gel and Gel Plus? Also, what is the main functional difference between Solution and Gel?

Difference between W Gel and Gel Plus: Both contain PHMB (0.1%) and Poloxamer. Gel Plus contains an additional surfactant and has a higher viscosity and greater moisturizing capacity.

Difference between Solution and Gel: Solution is a liquid formulation used to irrigate and cleanse the wound bed and remove debris and biofilm. Gel has a thicker consistency and is applied to the cleansed wound to coat the wound surface, maintain a moist environment, protect it from external factors, and prevent the dressing from adhering to the wound.

How does Actolind W Gel form a layer on the wound?

When applied, Actolind W Gel forms a thin, transparent, protective gel layer on the wound surface that helps retain moisture. By helping the wound remain moist, this layer supports the maintenance of an environment suitable for wound healing.

The protective gel layer:

Helps prevent the wound surface from drying out.
Creates a protective barrier between the wound and the dressing, reducing the risk of the dressing adhering to the wound and making dressing changes more comfortable.
Helps provide a protective barrier against contamination from the external environment.
Supports continued contact of PHMB with the wound surface, helping maintain its antimicrobial activity.
Helps maintain an optimal moisture balance, supporting natural wound-healing processes such as granulation and epithelialization.

To maintain the effectiveness of this protective layer, Actolind W Gel should be applied directly to the wound bed in a sufficient amount and should not be mixed with other creams, ointments, or chemical products. If other topical products are required, they should be applied separately according to the sequence and intervals recommended by the physician.

What type of layer does Actolind Gel Plus form on the wound?

When applied, Actolind Gel Plus forms a thin, transparent, moisture-retaining protective gel layer on the wound surface. By helping to keep the wound moist, this layer supports the maintenance of an environment conducive to wound healing.

Thanks to the protective gel layer it forms:

It helps prevent the wound surface from drying out.
By creating a protective barrier between the wound and the dressing, it reduces the risk of the dressing adhering to the wound and makes dressing changes more comfortable.
It helps create a protective barrier against contamination from the external environment.
By helping maintain contact between the PHMB content and the wound surface, it supports the continuity of antimicrobial activity.
By maintaining an optimal moisture balance, it supports natural wound healing processes such as granulation and epithelialization.

To preserve the effectiveness of this protective layer, Actolind Gel Plus should be applied alone and in a sufficient amount to the wound bed; it should not be mixed with other creams, ointments, or chemical products. If other topical products are required, they should be applied separately, only in the sequence and at the time intervals recommended by the physician.

Is Actolind® W Solution used only on infected wounds?

No. The product can be used in the care of both infected and non-infected acute and chronic wounds. Therefore, a wound does not necessarily need to be infected for Actolind® W Solution to be used.rnrnThe important point is that the product is not intended to replace the overall treatment of the wound, but rather to support wound cleansing and antimicrobial care.

What is the pH value of Actolind W Gel?

The pH value of Actolind W Gel is between 5.0 and 7.5. This range has been optimized to support tissue compatibility in wound care and compatibility with the physiological wound environment.

What exactly has been added to the enhanced formulation of the Plus series? What is the list of ingredients in Actolind W Gel and Gel Plus?

Ingredient Added to the Enhanced Formulation: As a result of R&D studies, a special surfactant component has been added that further reduces the surface tension of the gel/solution and enhances spreading and moisturization.

Actolind W Gel Ingredients: Water, Poloxamer, Polyhexanide (PHMB, 0.1%), and excipients.

Actolind Gel Plus Ingredients: Water, Poloxamer, Polyhexanide (PHMB, 0.1%), an additional surfactant component, and excipients.

Can Actolind Solution Plus be used to remove or reduce the appearance of postoperative suture marks and scars?

No, it is not intended for this purpose. Actolind Solution Plus is not a scar-removal solution. Its primary function is to cleanse open wounds, such as surgical incision wounds, remove necrotic tissue and bacteria, and help prevent the risk of infection. Once the sutures have been removed and the wound has completely closed, scar creams containing active ingredients such as silicone are more appropriate.

Can Actolind® W Solution be used on wounds with biofilm?

Yes. Biofilm is one of the major factors that can complicate wound care, particularly in chronic wounds with prolonged healing.rnrnThe cleansing properties of Actolind® W Solution support the removal of biofilm and other residues from the wound surface. The Poloxamer in the formulation also contributes to this cleansing process through its surfactant properties.rnrnThe 2025 IWII consensus also considers wound cleansing an important component of biofilm and microbial load management.
