Spira-Wash Gel is a base designed to promote a moist wound environment to promote the healing process. It is a soft, opaque Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) ointment base containing organic meadowsweet extract. Due to the phenolic glycosides (spiraein) and flavonoids in the meadowsweet, it potentially has germicidal, anti-inflammatory and healing properties, thus making it a good choice for wounds, ulcers, burns, sores, and cuts.

Ointments that are not water soluble often present a big problem to wound care patients and practitioners, so Spira-Wash Gel may be a welcome option! Spira-Wash Gel is a water-washable base for easy cleansing/debridement. It is adherent, provides occlusion, and maintains a moist environment at the wound/dressing interface. The objective of wound management is to provide conditions that will maintain a moist wound environment, which allows for optimal healing. Pain also may be decreased by maintaining this moist environment.

Spira-Wash Gel may be a good choice for:

• Wounds
• Ulcers
• Burns
• Sores
• Cuts

Spira-Wash Gel also potentially may be useful for dermatologic formulations outside of wound care.
