Urgostart Border Sacrum Foam Dressing

Adhesive Foam Dressing With Soft-Adherent TLC-NOSF

- Heals twice as fast as a neutral dressing (1) and avoids wounds becoming longstanding
- Is cost-effective
- Improves patients' quality of life (1)

Composition:

UrgoStart Border is an adhesive foam dressing with soft-adherent TLC-NOSF, comprised of :

- A soft-adherent TLC-NOSF layer combined with an absorbent polyurethane foam pad and a highly absorbent layer
- A waterproof outer film with silicone adhesive only on the edges

Mode Of Action:

TLC (Technology Lipido-Colloid) combined with NOSF (Nano-Oligo Saccharide Factor) is a patented innovative technology which in contact with wound exudate forms a gel and creates a moist environment enabling the key cells involved in the repair process (fibroblasts, keratinocyrtes, macrophages) to exert their action.

TLC-NOSF interacts with the wound micro-environment of the wound by preventing the detrimental effect of Matrix Metallo Proteases (MMPs) which in excess in chronic wounds creates a continuous degradation of the extra-cellular matrix. TLC-NOSF restores balance in the wound bed so granulation of chronic wounds can occur. UrgoStart Border thereby promotes faster wound healing.

Benefits For Patients:

- Faster recovery (1)
- Avoids wounds becoming longstanding with associated risks of complications
- Very convenient : allows bathing or showering
- Improved patient quality of life: less anxiety, less depression, less pain (1)
- No adherence to the wound: pain-free dressing changes
- Well tolerated
- Very conformable and comfortable

Indications:

UrgoStart Border is indicated for the treatment of moderately to heavily exuding chronic wounds (leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, longstanding acute wounds).

The sacral version is recommended for moderately to heavily exuding chronic wounds located in the sacral area (sacral pressure ulcers).

Contraindications:

- Cancerous wounds or fistula wounds which may reveal a deep abscess.

- Do not use if there is a known sensitivity to UrgoStart Border.

Instructions For Use:

- Clean the wound as per local protocol and rinse with normal saline.
- If an antiseptic is first used, rinse the wound thoroughly with saline solution before applying UrgoStart Border.
- Dry carefully the surrounding skin.
- Using the tabs, remove the protective film.
- Apply the soft-adherent side of UrgoStart Border to the wound (the adhesive silicone border should be at least 1 cm away from the wound)
- Smooth the dressing over the wound.
- Apply compression bandaging over the dressing when prescribed.
- UrgoStart Border may be changed every 2 to 4 days and left in place depending on the exudate level and the clinical condition of the wound.
- The recommended treatment duration is a minimum of 8 weeks until wound healing.

Precautions For Use:

- The central pad should not be cut. However, the adhesive edges can be cut if necessary to fit the dressing.
- As the soft adherent layer of UrgoStart Border adheres to surgical gloves (latex), it is recommended to manipulate the dressing avoiding contact with the coated layer.
- If signs of colonisation are present, suitable treatment is recommended prior to use.
- In case of an atypical ulcer presenting induration or overgranulation, UrgoStart Border should only be used after checking the absence of wound-related malignancy in order not to delay the diagnosis.- The action of the product on the healing process may possibly cause stinging or painful sensations at the start of the treatment with UrgoStart Border. This rarely warrants suspension of treatment.
- In the absence of clinical data as a first line treatment in acute wounds, and in the treatment of - Epidermolysis bullosa (even for longstanding lesions), it is not recommended to use UrgoStart Border.
- Any excess hair should be cut close to the skin to ensure good contact with the wound.
- Check that the sterility protector is intact before use.
- Single-use, individual and sterile dressing
- Do not re-sterilise the dressing.
- Do not use in a hyperbaric chamber
