Product benefits of octenisan® md nasal gel
- Decontamination of the nasal vestibules through physical cleansing
- for supportive wound treatment for lesions of the nasal epithelium
- for moisturising
- Very good tolerability
Areas of application
octenisan® md nasal gel is used to moisturise, cleanse and decontaminate the nasal vestibules. It provides the nasal vestibules with sufficient moisture when the nose dries out due to external influences and thus prevents irritation. Through this moisturisation, the hydrogel promotes the maintenance of the physiological environment and thus prevents the colonisation of bacteria. Furthermore, the restoration of the physiological protective and cleansing function contributes to effective MRE decontamination.
Lesions of the nasal epithelium are also moisturised by the hydrogel and can therefore heal optimally. This is because the epithelial cells must be able to divide and migrate for the healing process. This is best possible in a moist wound environment.

Directions for use
Unless otherwise prescribed, use the medical device octenisan® md nasal gel 2-3 times a day as required. The medical device octenisan® md nasal gel is intended exclusively for use in the nasal vestibules. Apply a sufficient amount of the gel to the front area of the nose (nasal vestibules), e.g. using a cotton swab, so that the surface is completely wetted. To do this, the medical device octenisan® md nasal gel is inserted into the nostril/each nostril, the nose is closed by squeezing the sides of the nostrils together and then massaged between the thumb and finger. This ensures even distribution of the gel. If necessary, the nose should be thoroughly cleaned beforehand with a wet cotton swab. Excess gel is removed with a swab. Care should be taken to ensure that a moisturising film remains. To prevent the spread of germs, avoid direct contact with the tube opening.
Not suitable for children under 1 year of age.
