What is Savlon Advanced Healing Gel? Savlon Advanced Healing Gel contains a special hydrocolloid (pH 5.5) that has been specifically designed to create a moist environment for wounds to heal and to speed up cell renewal. This increased cell renewal helps to reduce scarring. The second property of Savlon Healing Gel is that it cools the area and relives the associated pain. This Advanced Healing Gel is suitable to treat cuts, grazes, shallow open wounds, bed sores (with the supervision of a nurse) and superficial burns. The hydrocolloid within Savlon Healing Gel, is designed to balance out the right amount of moisture in a wound, for optimal healing. If a wound is dry, Savlon Healing Gel can turn it moist by allowing the skin to soak in the water from the gel. This softens the damaged tissue which allows for speedier healing. When a wound is already moist, the hydrocolloid in the gel acts in the opposite way and absorbs any excess water in the wound which restores the water balance, allowing the skin to repair itself. How to use Savlon Advanced Healing Gel? Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly, gently apply the gel using clean hands, do not massage. Savlon Advanced Healing Gel can be applied once or twice a day. If required cover the wound with a bandage or plaster. Store in a cool dry place and in original packaging.
