Urgosorb Seaweed Dressing

Packing: 10 pieces/box

Dimensions: 5cm x 5cm / 10cm x 10cm

Urgosorb is an absorbent dressing combining calcium alginate fibers with hydrocolloid particles.

• Maintain a moist environment for the wound
  
• absorb exudate
• Promotes Liberation and Healing
• can handle by itself
• Hemostatic

When in contact with exudate, the wound and dressing will undergo between sodium ion exchange and calcium ion exchange, UrgoSorb Gel maintains a moist environment, softening and expulsing any necrotic debris.

Through platelet activation, Urgosorb provides primary hemostasis in acute and chronic bleeding wounds.

Instructions for use:

1. Rinse and clean wound with saline solution. Before using Urgosorb, carefully pat dry the surrounding skin.
2. Choose an appropriate size of Urgosorb, leaving at least 1 cm or 2 cm of dressing overlapping the healthy skin around the wound.
3. Apply Urgosorb directly to the wound.
4. Cover with Urgosorb with a secondary dressing.
5. Use an appropriate bandage, tape to hold the dressing in place, or apply a compression bandage if prescribed.
6. Urgosorb should be replaced when saturated, especially if exudate soaks into the secondary dressing.

The update frequency depends on the amount of exudate:

• daily if highly exuding wounds are covered with fibrinous necrotic debris or infected persons;
• Clean and moderately exudate the wound every 2 days according to the clinical condition of the wound.
• In the case of leg ulcers, Urgosorb can be moistened with a saline solution to facilitate removal.

Packing: 1Pc / 1Box (10pcs) / 1Box (5pcs - 2.5cm x 30cm)

Absorbent calcium alginate and hydrocolloid dressing with silver

PREPARING EXUDING WOUNDS AT RISK OF INFECTION FOR HEALING

• Broad spectrum antibacterial activity
• Absorption of exudate
• Facilitates desloughing and healing
• One piece removal
• Haemostatic properties
• Absorption capacity

Urgosorb Ag/Silver is an absorbent dressing which combines calcium alginate fibers, hydrocolloid and silver particles (0.5% ionic silver).

When in contact with exudate, there is an exchange of sodium-calcium ions between the wound and the dressing. The UrgoSorb Ag/Silver gels and this maintains the moist environment favorable for the healing process.

UrgoSorb Ag/Silver absorbs the exudate, softens and drains any necrotic debris. Through platelet activation, the Urgosorb Ag/Silver dressing promotes primary haemostasis of acute and chronic bleeding wounds.

As the wound exudate is absorbed and Urgosorb Ag/Silver forms a gel, the Silver ions are gradually released from both within the dressing and at the wound interface. This helps prevent bacterial contamination of the dressing and also locks bacteria away from the wound, causing a barrier effect.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Clean the wound as per local protocol and rinse with normal saline. Dry the surrounding skin carefully.
2. If an antiseptic is first used, rinse the wound thoroughly with saline solution before applying Urgosorb Ag/Silver.
3. Choose the appropriate size of Urgosorb Ag/Silver so as to leave at least 1 or 2 cm of the dressing covering healthy skin around the wound.
4. Apply Urgosorb Ag/Silver directly onto the wound.
5. For deep or tunnel wounds (anfractuous pressure ulcers, pilonidal sinus), apply Urgosorb Ag/Silver rope loosely without any excessive pressure.
6. Cover Urgosorb Ag/Silver with a secondary dressing
7. Secure the dressing in place with a suitable bandage, adhesive tape, or apply compression bandage if prescribed.
8. Urgosorb Ag/Silver should be changed every 1 to 3 days, and up to 7 days depending on the clinical condition of the wound.

**For leg ulcers, Urgosorb Ag/Silver may be moisturized with saline solution to ease the removal if necessary.
