Principelle IF
Advanced wound care designed to support healing.
Chronic wounds are stuck in a non-resolved cycle arising from imbalances in the levels and activity associated with moisture, proteins, ions and bacteria.
Contamination and infection further complicate healing. Some wounds (deep wounds, cavities) only allow for the application of liquid solutions. Appropriate natural components intervene to achieve protease and pH modulation. Altering
the woundbed conditions and environment guides chronic wounds back to appropriate stages of healing.
Powered by nature. Guided by science.
Principelle IF formulation contains no synthetic components. Minerals, trace elements and oxides are carried by a specially selected dark buckwheat honey.
The process of mixing components is done to an unusual high standard. The anti-bacterial properties of the medical grade honey is well acknowledged. Low moisture content, free acids, and a rich source of phenolic compounds lend the product effective natural qualities against a wide range of pathogens, including MRSA.
IF Ointment can be used for acute and chronic wounds. It is particularly suitable for decubitus (grade 3-4 Wagner), cavity and tunneling wounds. It may be used on moderately-exuding, lightly exuding and dry wounds. With a suitable secondary dressing it can also be used on heavily exuding wounds. Depending on the wound type it may be covered by traditional dressings, or absorbing
dressing such as Principelle Matrix.
