Description
Urgoclean Ag Dressing is an anti-biofilm silver dressing that provides complete and continuous cleaning action to the wound for up to 7 days. It reduces 99.99% biofilms population in just 24 hours, getting to work in just 30 minutes on main strains, and it also works against bacterial strains resistant to antibiotics (e.g. MRSA, VRE). It is suitable for all wounds from the de-sloughing stage at risk of or with signs of local infection, including leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, burns, abrasions, traumatic wounds and post-operative wounds
Urgoclean Ag Dressing is a sterile, non-woven pad composed of hydro-de-sloughing, poly-absorbent cohesive fibres with a high absorption capacity (polyacrylate). The hydro-desloughing pad is coated with a silver-impregnated micro-adherent healing matrix (TLC: Lipido-Colloid Technology). This TLC-Ag matrix provides an antibacterial action and gels easily, aiding drainage of sloughy residue. This gel does not stick to the wound, making it easy to remove the dressing, minimising pain and trauma at dressing changes.
