Has anyone had any clinical experience first hand using Flaminal????

 

Hi,

Yes I have used Flaminal Hydro and Forte numerous times within a multidisciplinary foot clinic setting. Flaminal Hydro and Forte are usually indicated for sloughy wounds I find; the difference between Hydro and Forte is in their alginate content. Forte has a higher alginate content than Hydro so I tend to use it on moderately exuding wounds. Usually they are used in combination with a secondary dressing (foam or absorbent pad-type). Typically the dressings are left on for 3-4 days then changed by community nurses.

 

I use Flaminal all the time and think it is fantastic. Its certainly made a big difference to some of the long-term wounds that the community nurses where I work were dressing with other products (although those wounds have also benefitted from podiatric involvement...!)
