Elbagin, with it's sterilizing properties, is also very useful as a treatment for small abrasions and wounds. Elbagin constantly yet slowly sterilizes theses damaged areas on your fish, thus enabling damaged tissue to repair itself naturally without the need for more radical treatments requiring the Koi be placed under anaesthetic, which can be very stressfull for the fish.
