The UrgoClean Poly Absorbent Fibrous Dressing is a sterile dressing designed to aid wound healing through active desloughing and exudate control. Made with cohesive poly-absorbent fibres, the dressing traps bacteria, manages moisture, and reduces slough by up to 50% more than traditional hydrofibres, helping create an ideal healing environment.

FEATURES:

• Poly-absorbent fibres (polyacrylate) highly absorbent and cohesive
• Packaged with a probe to assess wound depth
• Haemostatic properties

BENEFITS:

• 50% better reduction in sloughy tissues compared to hydrofibres
• Traps bacteria
• Debrides and desloughs
• One piece removal
• Easy to pack into the wound
• Manages minor bleeding

INDICATIONS:

• Deslouching 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
• Do not use in fistula wounds with a diameter less than that of the probe, do not use on dry wounds
• Do not use as surgical packing (non-resorbable rope)
• Do not use in endo-nasal area in rhino-sinusitis surgery

PRECAUTIONS:

• The soft-adherent TLC layer of UrgoClean^® adheres to latex 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
• 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
