Calgonate(r) Gel is an effective topical 2.5% calcium gluconate gel that is used in first aid response to hydrofluoric acid (HF) exposure or contact to the body. Calcium gluconate combines with hydrofluoric acid to neutralize the powerful fluoride ion. Calcium gluconate gel is indicated as an integral part in responding to hydrofluoric acid exposure to the body, mitigating or preventing the related pain and potential tissue burns and bone damage. Apply Calgonate Gel freely to the affected areas and continuously massage into the skin. Reapply Calgonate Gel and massage into the affected area every 15 minutes until medical assistance is given. If the acid has penetrated below the nails, Calgonate Gel should be liberally applied over and around the nail area, and the area should be continually massaged for 15 minutes. Avoid secondary HF exposure or transfer by following standard HF safety measures. All HF burns or exposure should be referred to a hospital after washing and starting initial first-aid procedures with Calgonate Gel. Calgonate is a registered trademark of Calgonate Corp.
