INDICATIONS
- Desloughing phase of chronic exuding wounds (eg leg ulcers, pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers)
- Potentially sloughy wounds
- acute wounds (burns, skin abrasions, traumatic wounds)
- post-operative wound
- cancerous wounds
CONTRAINDICATIONS
- Do not use if there is a known sensitivity to UrgoClean
- Do not use UrgoClean as a surgical sponge for heavily bleeding wounds
PRECAUTIONS
- The soft-adherent TLC layer of URGOCLEAN adheres to latex surgical gloves. It is therefore recommended that the dressing be handled carefully, avoiding any contact with the soft-adherent side or using sterile forceps.
- The concomitant use of a cream, lotion, ointment or emulsion is not recommended.
- Due to the non-occlusive nature of this dressing, URGOCLEAN can be used on infected wounds under close medical supervision.
- During the desloughing process, the wound may appear to be larger in size. This is due to the effective removal of slough.
- URGOCLEAN must not be used in a hyperbaric chamber.
- Do not re-sterilise the dressing.
- Check that the sterile protector is intact before use. Do not use if package is damaged.
- Single use sterile individual packaging: re-using a single-use dressing may lead to risks of infection.
