• For moistening
• Excellent compatibility

The hydrophilic properties of Octenisan® md nasal gel ensure efficient moisturising of the nasal vestibules. The moisturising effects of hydrogel promote a favourable physiological milieu which prevents the settlement of bacteria. Furthermore, restoring the physiological functions of protection and cleaning contribute to effective decontamination of e.g. particle, skin residuals and multiresistant pathogens.

Irritated skin underneath the nasal opening is also supplied with moisture through the hydrogel and thus can heal optimally. Epithelial cells must be able to proliferate and migrate for the healing process. This is best possible in a moist wound environment.
