This allows the solution to penetrate biofilm matrices and deep wound recesses more effectively than saline alone. The European Wound Management Association (EWMA) position document on wound cleansing supports the use of surfactant-containing solutions for biofilm-compromised wounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is octenilin safe for long-term use on chronic wounds?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes. Octenilin is colourless, odourless, pH-neutral, and has demonstrated good tissue compatibility in clinical evaluations.
