Seegräber, M.; Ruzicka, T. und Wollenberg, A. (2017): Persistierende Rötung und Induration nach Wundspülung mit Octenidin. In: Hautarzt, Vol. 68, No. 4: pp. 326-328

Abstract

With its long-lasting effectiveness, octenidine is an agent of first choice for antiseptic wound treatment. However, the manufacturer advises against instillation of the agent under pressure. A 50-year-old patient presented with erythema and extensive soft tissue induration after wound cleansing with octenidine under pressure. Due to the lack of resorption of the agent, this caused long-lasting interstitial soft tissue edema. This case demonstrates the importance of following the manufacturer's instructions for use. Advantages of the agent such as lack of systemic toxicity or broad spectrum efficacy can only be achieved if the agent is applied correctly.
