Clinical-Pharmacological Group

Hemostatic agent for topical application

Pharmacotherapeutic Group

Combined antimicrobial agent

Pharmacological Action

Combined antimicrobial agent. It has antibacterial (against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms) and hemostatic action, stimulates reparative processes in the wound and accelerates its healing.

Pharmacokinetics

When applied to a wound, the sponge swells within 5-10 seconds and absorbs exudate in an amount 30-40 times its own weight. At the same time, a local depot of kanamycin is created, which, as the sponge dissolves under the action of proteolytic enzymes, enters the wound in a bactericidal concentration. Within 10-14 days, the sponge left in the wound completely dissolves.

Indications

Wounds, including infected wounds and burns of any etiology and location (as a means of individual protection when providing first aid); thermal, chemical and radiation burns of varying severity and location (for biological coverage as part of complex therapy); trophic ulcers; bone defect after sequestrectomy for osteomyelitis; prevention of postoperative complications and development of wound infection; bleeding (including capillary, parenchymal, occurring during surgical interventions and injuries); in dentistry: stopping socket bleeding in hemophilia.

ICD codes

Dosage Regimen

Apply topically to the affected area.

Determine the amount of sponge used by the size and area of the wound surface.

Ensure the sponge completely covers the wound, with edges extending slightly onto intact skin.

For heavily exuding wounds, apply multiple layers to ensure adequate absorption.

The total amount of kanamycin with a single use must not exceed 1 million IU.

For extensive wound surfaces, calculate the maximum number of sponges based on this limit.

Leave the sponge in the wound; do not remove it.

The sponge will swell upon application and subsequently dissolve completely within 10-14 days.
