Urgocell Silver Sterile Dressings 15cm x 20cm x 10
Urgocell Silver Sterile Dressing
Promoting Healing And Preventing Infection:
– Broad spectrum antibacterial efficacy, including MRSA, when in contact with the wound bed
– 99.9% removal of biofilm after 1 day (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus)
– Pain-free dressing change
– Absorption of moderate to high levels of exudate
– Pain-free and atraumatic dressing removal
Composition:
UrgoCell Ag/Silver is an antibacterial foam dressing with TLC-Ag, comprised of:
– A polyester mesh impregnated with petroleum jelly, hydrocolloid and silver particles
– A polyurethane absorbent foam pad,
– A non-woven, semi-permeable polyurethane backing.
Mode Of Action:
When in contact with wound exudate, the TLC-Ag of UrgoCell Ag/Silver gels and creates a moist environment, promoting healing. This ensures non-adherence and pain-free dressing changes. When the silver salt is broken down in contact with the wound exudate, UrgoCell Ag/Silver acts as a reservoir capable of continuously releasing a bactericidal concentration of silver ions while in contact with the wound.
Benefits For The Wound:
– 99.9% removal of biofilms within 1 day (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus)
– Moist wound healing
– Moderate to high absorbency
– No adherence to the wound (no damage to newly formed tissue)
– Protection of surrounding skin
Benefits For Health Professionals:
– Easy to apply
– Easy to remove with pain-free dressing change
– Exudate management (moderate to high absorbency)
– Can be used under compression
Benefits For Patients:
– No adherence to the wound: pain-free dressing change
– Well tolerated
Indications:
UrgoCell Ag/Silver is indicated for the treatment of moderately to heavily exuding wounds with signs of local infection: chronic wounds (pressure sores and ulcers) and acute wounds (partial thickness burns, dermal abrasions, traumatic wounds, post-operative wounds, etc).
Due to the non-adhesive nature of the dressing, UrgoCell Ag/Silver is recommended for the treatment of wounds in which the surrounding skin is friable.
Contraindications:
– Do not use when there is a known sensitivity to silver.
– Do not use on patients undergoing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examination.
Instructions For Use:
– If an antiseptic is first used, rinse the wound thoroughly with saline solution before applying UrgoCell Ag/Silver.
– UrgoCell Ag/Silver can be cut using sterile scissors to fit the dressing size to the wound if necessary.
– Using the tabs, remove the protective film.
– Apply UrgoCell Ag/Silver to the wound.
– Secure the dressing in place with a suitable bandage, adhesive tape, or apply a compression bandage when prescribed.
– UrgoCell Ag/Silver should be changed every 1 to 3 days depending on the level of exudate and the clinical condition of the wound.
Precautions For Use:
– Treatment with UrgoCell Ag/Silver should be carried out under medical supervision.
– Concomitant use with other local treatments is not recommended.
– Avoid contact with electrodes or conductive gels during electronic measurements, e.g. EEG and ECG.
– In the absence of any specific clinical data, use in pregnant or breast-feeding women, newborn and premature babies is not recommended.
– Clinicians / Healthcare Professionals should be aware that there are very limited data on prolonged and repeated use of silver containing dressings, particularly in children and neonates.
– Discard any unused parts of the dressing.
– Check that the sterility protector is intact before use.
– Single-use, individual and sterile dressing: re-using a single-use product may lead to risks of infection.
– Do not re-sterilise the dressing.
– Do not use in a hyperbaric chamber
