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
