Urgotül Silver 10x12 cm wound gauze, 10 pcs

Product features

UrgoTül Ag/Silver is a wound dressing soaked in silver salt and based on lipid colloid technology (TLC).This technology was developed by Laboratoires URGO .The wound dressing consists of a polyester mesh soaked with hydrocolloid particles (carboxymethyl cellulose), petroleum jelly, cohesive polymers and silver salt.UrgoTül Ag/Silver is non-adhesive, non-occlusive and does not stick to the wound.

In contact with the wound exudates, the hydrocolloid particles (CMC) gel and form a lipidocolloid film that is in direct contact with the wound.This creates the following specific properties: maintenance of a moist wound environment that promotes healing, gel formation in contact with the wound, atraumatic detachment to protect the newly formed tissue, painless dressing changes for the patient and protection of the wound environment.

The silver ions (Ag+) contained in the TLC-Ag wound healing matrix give UrgoTül Ag/Silver antibacterial effectiveness.This can reduce local bacterial colonization.Silver has a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity that includes gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria as well as certain fungi and yeasts.It is particularly effective against Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Streptococcus pyogenes and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Bacillus pyocyaneus), which are often responsible for infected wounds.The antibacterial effectiveness of the wound dressing was demonstrated in vitro over a period of 7 days.It also helps to reduce the smell.

No prescription is required for this product.
