Urgosorb 10x10 cm compresses, 10 pcs

Product features

UrgoSorb is a sterile wound dressing consisting of calcium alginate and hydrocolloid particles.These natural polymers are known for their strong absorbency.The wound dressing promotes wound healing by forming a gel in contact with the wound exudate.UrgoSorb can be easily removed in one piece, even when wet, without causing pain.No prescription is required for this product.

Application instructions

Before using the wound dressing, the wound should be cleaned with physiological saline solution.After using antibiotics, corticosteroids or antiseptic alkaline solutions, the wound should also be rinsed with physiological saline solution.The area surrounding the wound is dried with a sterile compress.

UrgoSorb is applied directly to the wound.For lower leg ulcers with moderate to weak exudation, the compress should be moistened with physiological saline solution before application.The wound dressing is secured with an additional bandage to prevent slipping.In the event of a pressure ulcer in the sacral area or incontinence, UrgoSorb is covered with a thin hydrocolloid wound dressing.

Change the UrgoSorb wound dressing when the maximum suction power is exhausted.The frequency of dressing changes depends on the wound and varies between once a day when cleaning the wound from fibrinous-necrotic deposits as well as for heavily exuding or infected wounds and every other day for less exuding wounds.

To remove the wound dressing, the secondary dressing is first removed and then UrgoSorb is removed.For lower leg ulcers, UrgoSorb can be moistened with physiological saline beforehand to make removal easier.The UrgoSorb wound dressing is replaced as described above.

Cavitary and deep wounds are loosely lined with UrgoSorb tamponade without applying excessive pressure.During gel formation, the UrgoSorb tamponade adapts to the shape of the wound.The tamponade can be easily removed from the wound in one piece.It must be ensured that the tamponade is completely removed from the wound.The tamponade is also fixed with a secondary bandage.

Indications

UrgoSorb is suitable for the local treatment of moderately to heavily exuding wounds in the cleaning and granulation phase, especially in post-surgical wounds such as amputation wounds and abscess wounds as well as in chronic wounds such as decubitus ulcers and leg ulcers.The wound dressing can also be used to treat wounds with clinical signs of infection, provided appropriate medical supervision is provided.UrgoSorb is also indicated for hemorrhagic wounds.The UrgoSorb tamponade is intended for the local treatment of wound cavities such as deep wounds, fissured wounds and coccygeal fistulas.

UrgoSorb promotes the primary hemostasis of bleeding traumatic and chronic wounds by activating blood platelets.UrgoSorb tamponade is intended for the local treatment of deep bleeding wounds.

Contraindications

Precautions

UrgoSorb is non-absorbable and must not be used as a surgical implantable compress.The wound dressing must not be used together with antiseptic, alkaline solutions.If these have been used, the wound should definitely be rinsed with sterile physiological saline solution before using UrgoSorb compresses or tamponades.The sterile individual packaging is intended for single use only.Reusing a single-use wound dressing can cause infection risks.It must be ensured that the sterile individual packaging is intact and is not damaged.UrgoSorb must not be re-sterilized.
