PRECAUTIONS
- If the periwound skin is weakened, the use of UrgoStart Border, which has an adhesive border, is left to the discretion of the healthcare professional.
- In the event of signs or symptoms of infection before or after starting treatment with UrgoStart Border, such as erythema (redness of the skin around the wound), oedema (swelling), heat or pain in the wound area, fever, enlargement of the wound, odour from the wound, or profuse exudate (that is, a large amount of fluid in the wound), consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment.
- In the event of overgranulation (excessive raised formation of red budding tissue on the wound) before or after starting treatment with UrgoStart Border, it must be reported to a healthcare professional for appropriate care.
For a complete list of precautions, contraindications, and indications, please contact your local sales representative to obtain the Instructions for Use (IFU).
