Urgotül Silver 15x20 cm wound gauze, 5 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, which 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.In addition, the antibacterial effectiveness helps to reduce the odor.

No prescription is required for this product.

Application instructions

The wound should first be cleaned with physiological saline solution.If an antiseptic was previously used, the wound must be carefully rinsed with physiological saline.UrgoTül Ag/Silver can be cut with sterile material to adjust the size of the dressing to the wound.Remove the protective films from the wound dressing and place it directly on the wound.UrgoTül Ag/Silver should then be covered with a secondary dressing (sterile compress suitable for absorbing exudate and held in place with a fixing bandage).A compression bandage should be applied if prescribed.UrgoTül Ag/Silver should be changed every 1 to 3 days, depending on the wound being treated and its clinical course.The maximum treatment duration with UrgoTül Ag/Silver is one month.

Indications

UrgoTül Ag/Silver is suitable for the local treatment of wounds with risk or signs of local infection.These include chronic wounds such as leg ulcers and pressure sores, as well as acute wounds such as second-degree burns, skin abrasions, traumatic wounds and surgical wounds.Since the wound dressing does not stick, UrgoTül Ag/Silver is recommended for the treatment of wounds with a sensitive wound environment.

Contraindications
