Can Flaminal® be painful on application?
Patients may report pain if the wound is allowed to dry out. With drier wounds, this can be prevented, by using Flaminal® Hydro instead of Flaminal® Forte. Patients may also report pain caused by the wound edges becoming macerated. With wetter wounds, this can be prevented, by using Flaminal® Forte instead of Flaminal® Hydro. Maceration can also be reduced by using a more absorbent secondary dressing e.g. foam dressing. Patients may report a reduction in pain as Flaminal® Hydro can be used to hydrate then remove slough and necrotic material. Pain can be caused by infection; allergies and some ulcers can also be painful.
