FAQ for Patients
There are many reasons a doctor may recommend you use Dakin’s. You can treat ulcers from diabetes or other causes, surgical sites, various viruses and bacteria. Washing away debris or dirt from wounds is also a key benefit, which helps treat and prevent infection. Always refer to your healthcare provider before using.
Flush wound or affected area until clean. For wound management, use as an irrigant, cleanser or the wetting agent for a wet-to-moist dressing.
Apply once daily for 5-10 minutes for a wound with light or moderate discharge. Apply twice daily for 10-15 minutes for a wound with heavy discharge.
Anything from a scrape to a surgical wound! Additionally, Dakin’s can be used for ulcers and 1st or 2nd degree burns. Dakin’s Solutions helps prevent and treat topical infections.
While there are many Youtube tutorials and online guides on how to make Dakin’s Solution, no one has been able to replicate our process. We’ve buffered (which is not the same as diluting) Dakin’s so that it is pH balanced for use on the skin. No other version of Dakin’s is as stable or long lasting. Home made solutions may last 2 days, but our products last a year or two, depending on the strength. We follow cGMP standards when manufacturing, and have been serving the medical industry as a company since 1966.
Dakin’s products are rated for a two year expiration, even when opened. The exception to this is Dakin’s Solutions Full Strength (0.5%), which lasts a year. For these products to last till expiration, simply keep the lid closed when not in use and store at room temperature, ideally in a medicine cabinet protected from light. Any version of Dakin’s that is homemade or home deluded will not be as stable, and we cannot speak to its effectiveness. Apply once daily for 5-10 minutes for a wound with light or moderate discharge. Apply twice daily for 10-15 minutes for a wound with heavy discharge.
We do not recommend further dilution of our Dakin’s products, due to the fact that we cannot control the process, nor the quality of the water used for the dilution. Although we are aware some facilities dilute our products, we cannot guarantee the diluted product’s effectiveness, nor its stability. If dilution is necessary, the final product should be stored in a poly bottle, protected from light, and used immediately.
Typical Sodium Hypochlorite Solutions deteriorate quickly, especially when exposed to light, heat, or contamination with metallic ions. The United States Pharmacopeia, current revision, states that Sodium Hypochlorite Topical Solution has a shelf life of seven days after the day on which it was compounded.
In contrast to typical Sodium Hypochlorite Solutions Century’s Dakin’s and products use high quality, purified water with low metallic ions; and the products are manufactured with special equipment, under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). Due to this extra care, the stability of our Dakin’s® products are much longer than typical Sodium Hypochlorite Topical Solutions.
