UrgoTul is a sterile, non-occlusive and non-adherent comfortable contact layer with Lipido-Colloid Technology Healing Matrix; to provide a nurturing environment for wound healing.
- Composition
- UrgoTul is a lipido-colloid, non-adhesive contact layer, composed of a polyester frame impregnated with hydrocolloid particles (CarboxyMethylCellulose CMC) and petroleum jelly
- Mode of Action
- In contact with wound exudate, the hydrocolloid particles issued from the TLC form a gel and interact with the petroleum jelly component of UrgoTul to form a lipido-colloid film at the interface between the wound and the dressing, creating favourable conditions that promote the healing process (healing in moist environment).
- This gives the dressing specific properties:
- maintenance of a moist environment that promotes healing
- atraumatic removal, which does not damage newly formed tissues
- pain-free dressing changes for the patient
- respect of the peri-wound skin.
- Fatty in its chemical composition without being greasy to the touch, UrgoTul does not adhere to the wound or to the surrounding skin: dressing changes are painless and atraumatic for the wound.
- Indication
- UrgoTul is indicated for non to low exuding wounds, management of acute and chronic wounds
- Treatment of acute wounds (burns, skin abrasions, traumatic wounds, post-operative wounds)
- Treatment of chronic wounds (leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers) at granulation and epithelialisation stages
- Treatment of wounds of epidermolysis bullosa
- Flexible and very comformable, UrgoTul is especially suitable for covering anfractuous or awkwardly placed wounds and for wicking deep wounds
- Cautions and Warnings
- UrgoTul adheres to latex surgical gloves; therefore, it is recommended to moisten the gloves with normal saline to facilitate handling of the dressing.
- Single-use sterile individual packaging: re-using a single use dressing may lead to risks of infection.
- Do not re-sterilise the dressing.
