Medline Skintegrity Wound Cleanser Spray is non-cytotoxic to prevent damage to the patient's cells. This spray has been specially formulated to promote quick, thorough, and gentle cleansing in a wide variety of wounds including pressure injuries, partial-thickness, full-thickness, infected, and non-infected wounds. It is a non-ionic surfactant, so it lowers the surface tension in the wound. This loosens protein and wound debris for easy removal. Also, the Skintegrity Wound Cleanser can be adjusted between a fine mist and a strong stream to fit each patient's needs. The trigger can be adjusted too, and at a distance of three inches, has a PSI of 8.6 which is within the guidelines provided by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) of 4 to 15 PSI.

What is Skintegrity Wound Cleanser?
It is a non-ionic surfactant spray that helps keep wounds clean to promote healing. Surfactants act on surfaces. Non-ionic molecules do not have an electrical charge and are excellent at binding to oily or greasy substances. They are ideal for cleaning wounds as well because they readily attach to the debris commonly found there.
The cleanser is also non-cytotoxic, meaning that it is not toxic to cells. In a wound bed, there are many new and other delicate cells, which are vital to the healing process. Using toxic elements can destroy or seriously delay regrowth.
You can dispense the product using a fine mist or as a stream. Use the more powerful jet when you wish to remove stubborn debris or clean your wound quickly. The fine droplets can be softer on more sensitive areas, but they take longer to irrigate the wound.
What Does Skintegrity Do?
It removes dead cells, exudate, and other wound debris. Keeping your wound bed clean helps reduce your risk of infections. Infections can lead to inflammation, both of which slow down the healing process. An infected wound can lead to other more grave complications, such as stalled wound healing on the local level, or even sepsis on a systemic level.
How Does It Work?
The non-ionic molecules do not dissolve in water. They have no electrical charge. The solution attaches to debris and other particles in the wound and gently flushes them away, leaving an optimal environment for wound healing.
How it is Different
The trigger sprayer offers a pressure level of 8.6psi at a level of 4osi-15psi from three inches away. That is strong enough to wash away unwanted material, but not too forceful for the wound. When applying the product as a mist, it has enough power to cover the wound area.

- Point the nozzle at the desired location.
