9 Annex - Important Information Warning: Anosteralyth-Solution as concentrate or ready for use, 30% solution has a strong resp. medium chlorine smell. Both for dilution of the concentrate as well as in application direct inhalation has to be avoided. Particular caution with asthma disease or chlorine allergy. Hence for asthmatics and allergic persons the use of Neutrosteralyth-Solution is recommended. Diluation: Due to the decontamination properties of Anosteralyth-Solution and Neutrosteralyth-Solution normal drinking water can be used for dilution, but of course Aqua destillata or water for injection as well. Concentration: Anosteralyth-Solution and Neutrosteralyth-Solution can be supplied both as concentrate and ready for use solution. The concentrate has to be diluted to a maximum concentation of 30%, which also is the most common form of application. Preparation of a 30% solution - example for 1 liter ready for use solution: Mix 700 ml drinking water and 300 ml concentrate in a measuring cup of plastic or glass. For specific applications - like for prevention - a lower concentration can be applied. Irrigation: For the irrigation of wounds or skin areas with Anosteralyth-Solution or Neutrosteralyth-Solution syringes or spray bottles are particularly suitable. Bathing: Very intensive way of treatment; e.g. for onychia using a small glass; lower consumption of Steralyth-Solutions by bathing using plastic bags. Dressing film: There is a wide variety of self-adhesive and non-adhesive waterproof medical dressing films on the market. 9

10 Maceration: From our experience we can say, that intact as well as irritated ambient skin is not damaged by moisture with Steralyth-solutions. To the contrary: it is even useful to treat the irritated ambient skin for a few days as well. Softened horny layers are easy to remove mechanically. For wounds with high exudate level protection of the wound edge is important (e.g. with Cavilon ). Suitable for skin care are for example Optiderm F Creme or Bepanthen wound and healing ointment. Zinc-containing ointments are unsuitable. Adhesion due to drying up of dressings: Moisten thoroughly, wait for a few minutes, and then remove the dressing. Interactions: The application in combination with other disinfection or irrigation solutions carries the risk to impair the efficiency. When applying dressings containing agents / alginate or silver coated dressings Steralyth-Solutions should only used for irrigation. Selection criteria Anosteralyth Neutrosteralyth Start of therapy Start of therapy for sensitive / allergy-prone persons / very sensitive ambient skin Chronic wounds Infected wounds Stronger effect, but stronger chlorine smell Mucous membranes Fungal infections (e.g. Intertrigo) Minor chlorine smell, gentle in application In general Anosteralyth-products can be substituted by Neutrosteralyth-products, except when solely Neutrosteralyth is recommended (e.g. application on mucous membranes).
