Instructions for use of the article UrgoTül 10 x 10 cm wound gauze: UrgoTül is a non-occlusive, flexible and conformable lipid colloid gauze wound dressing. It consists of a net of polyester fibres impregnated with hydrocolloid particles (carboxymethylcellulose), paraffin, vaseline and polymers. On contact with the wound exudate, the hydrocolloid particles gel and, together with the vaseline component of UrgoTül, form a lipidocolloid boundary layer. This creates a moist wound environment which promotes the healing process. UrgoTül does not stick to the wound and wound edges, making dressing changes painless and atraumatic for the patient. The dressing can be trimmed with a sterile instrument to fit the wound and wound environment. It should be covered with a secondary dressing adapted to the volume of exudate and fixed with an extensible bandage, an extensible adhesive plaster or an elastic tubular dressing. UrgoTül is changed every 2 to 4 days, depending on the wound being treated and the clinical condition of the wound. In venous ulcers of the lower leg, UrgoTül can be left on the wound for up to 7 days, under multi-layer compression. For wounds resulting from the hereditary disease epidermolysis bullosa, the dressing should be changed every one to three days. There are some warnings and precautions when using UrgoTül. It adheres to disposable latex surgical gloves, so it is recommended to moisten the gloves with physiological saline. If there are clinical signs of local infection, treatment can be changed to an antibacterial dressing. For deep, ragged or fistulous wounds, UrgoTül should be positioned so that part of the dressing remains visible and easily accessible outside the wound. UrgoTül must not be used in a hyperbaric chamber. Sterile individual packs are for single use only and should not be reused. UrgoTül is suitable for the treatment of acute and chronic wounds, such as burns, skin abrasions, traumatic wounds, postoperative wounds, pressure ulcers, lower leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and wounds resulting from the hereditary disease epidermolysis bullosa.
