Urgotül Foam Border 10x10 cm bandage, 10 pcs

UrgoTül Foam Border Bandage

UrgoTül Foam Border is a self-adhesive lipid colloid foam wound dressing with microadhesive TLC-matrix.This innovative technology, developed by Laboratoires Urgo, ensures effective exudate management and prevents maceration.The bandage is also suitable for use under a compression bandage if prescribed.

No prescription is required for this product.

Composition

The wound dressing consists of a microadhesive TLC-matrix in combination with an absorbent polyurethane foam compress and a superabsorbent fleece.It also has a vapor-permeable but water-impermeable outer carrier with a silicone adhesive edge.This specific combination is patent protected.

Advantages of UrgoTül Foam Border

UrgoTül Foam Border combines the advantages of TLC and silicone adhesive edges, resulting in a moist environment, optimal wound healing results and painless, atraumatic removal.

TLC (Lipidocolloid Technology) is a patented innovative technology consisting of a unique combination of polymers and hydrocolloid particles.These particles form a gel upon contact with the wound exudate and create a moist environment that promotes wound healing.The effectiveness of TLC has been demonstrated in several clinical studies involving over 36,000 patients.

UrgoTül Foam Border's waterproof backing is soft, highly conformable and non-occlusive.It ensures that the wound dressing adapts well to the anatomical relief of the wound, prevents fluids from escaping and protects the wound from external bacterial contamination.Its high vapor permeability ensures the drainage of excess exudate and thus prevents maceration.It is also stretchy and adapts to the movements of the body, making it easier to wear for the patient.The silicone adhesive edge ensures that the bandage adheres well, is easy to reposition and is well tolerated by the skin.Due to the adhesive edge, fixation with a secondary dressing is not necessary.Thanks to its transparency, it is possible to monitor the passage of liquids and change the dressing only when necessary.

Positive qualities

UrgoTül Foam Border has numerous positive properties:

Improvement of wound healing, absorption and drainage of exudates to limit the risk of maceration, maintenance of a physiological environment favorable for wound healing, atraumatic and painless dressing changes for patients, waterproof silicone adhesive edges, very adaptable and easy to reposition.
