PRECAUTIONS
- As UrgoTul Absorb Border includes a super-absorbent layer, the central pad should not be cut. However, the adhesive edges can be cut if necessary, using a pair of sterile scissors to fit the dressing to different wound shapes.
- If clinical signs of local infection are noted, treatment can be changed to an antibacterial dressing dependent on clinical judgement.
- Any excess hair should be cut close to skin to ensure good contact with the wound.
- In case of concomitant use with cream, ointment or emulsion, let the skin dry before the dressing application.
- UrgoTul Absorb Border must not be used in a hyperbaric chamber.
- Single use sterile individual packaging: re-using a single use dressing may lead to risks of infection.
- Check that the sterile protector is intact before use. Do not use if package is damaged.
- Do not re-sterilize the dressing.
