Urgoclean ag - 10 active dressings containing silver - 10x10 cm

Product Description

Silver-based dressing

Characteristics

UrgoClean Ag is an innovative non-woven, absorbent and gelling dressing made of poly-absorbent polyacrylate fibres that guarantee a complete cleansing and debridement action (from slough, fibrin, exudate, bacterial residues and biofilm) and a TLC-Ag colloidal lipid matrix that has an antimicrobial action. The combined action of the TLC-Ag matrix and the poly-absorbent fibers allows for an antimicrobial, anti-biofilm and complete cleansing action.

• The TLC-Ag matrix of UrgoClean Ag gels on contact with the wound exudate, reducing the bacterial load of the wound with a rapid and broad-spectrum action (tested on 36 bacterial strains and 4 yeasts, including antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains - MRSA, ERV, ESBL).
• On contact with the wound, the poly-absorbent fibers of UrgoClean Ag gel and break the biofilm matrix, allowing the silver ions to carry out their bactericidal action within the biofilm. The combined action of the poly-absorbent fibers and the TLC-Ag matrix has been shown to effectively reduce the concentration of sessile MRSA and P. aeruginosa bacteria within 24 hours and for 7 days (biofilm reduction > 99.99%). The anti-biofilm action of UrgoClean Ag is superior to that of Idrofibra Ag+Extra and to a dressing with DACC.
• UrgoClean Ag removes all those factors that promote bacterial proliferation and that can limit the effect of silver. The poly-absorbent fibers of UrgoClean Ag absorb and trap slough, exudate, and biofilm residues through an electrostatic mechanism. UrgoClean Ag has been clinically proven to reduce slough by 62.5% and cleanse 59% of wounds after 4 weeks of treatment (cleaned wound = covered wound with less than 30% slough).
• The dressing can be removed in one piece thanks to the acrylic core present in the poly-absorbent fibers.
• UrgoClean Ag ensures atraumatic and pain-free care thanks
• to the moist environment provided by the TLC-Ag3 matrix.
  UrgoClean manages minor bleeding due to its hemostatic properties.
• UrgoClean Ag is cut-to-size and can be used with a secondary dressing.
• UrgoClean Ag can be combined with compression therapy, when prescribed.

Components

Antimicrobial dressing composed entirely of poly-absorbent polyacrylate fibers, cleansing and gelling agents, and a micro-adherent TLC-Ag lipid-colloidal matrix (TLC-Ag: Lipido-Colloidal Technology, composed of carboxymethylcellulose particles, lipid substances and silver salts) to fight local infection through a combined antimicrobial/anti-biofilm action and complete cleansing. UrgoClean Ag has the ability to cleanse and keep the wound clean.

Directions for use

Cleanse the wound using the conventional care protocol, then rinse with saline solution. If an antiseptic has been used previously, rinse the wound thoroughly with saline solution before applying UrgoClean Ag. Use of UrgoClean Ag does not obviate the need for mechanical debridement, if necessary. Remove the protective tabs and apply the micro-adherent part of UrgoClean Ag in contact with the wound and the periwound skin. If necessary, UrgoClean Ag can be cut with sterile scissors to adapt the size of the dressing to the wound. It is recommended to use a bandage to secure the dressing and ensure it stays in place. Additionally, UrgoClean Ag can be covered with a secondary dressing appropriate for the location of the wound and the degree of exudation. If prescribed, apply compression therapy. The UrgoClean Ag dressing should be changed every 1-2 days at the start of treatment, and subsequently as needed (up to 7 days) depending on the amount of exudate and the clinical state of the wound. Treatment with Urgoclean Ag should not exceed one month.
The micro-adherent TLC-Ag matrix in UrgoClean Ag may adhere to latex surgical gloves. Therefore, it is recommended to moisten the gloves with normal saline solution to facilitate handling of the dressing. During the debridement process, the wound may appear larger than usual. This is due to the effective removal of slough.

Warnings

Contraindicated in cases of known sensitivity to silver.
UrgoClean Ag is not recommended for use as a surgical sponge for highly exuding wounds.
Do not use UrgoClean Ag in combination with oxygen peroxide, organomercury antiseptics or antiseptics containing hexamidine.
Do not use on patients undergoing Open Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
Treatment with UrgoClean Ag must be performed under medical supervision.
Use of UrgoClean Ag does not replace the need for systemic antibacterial treatment for infection, in line with local protocol.
Concomitant use with other local treatments is not recommended.
Avoid contact with electrodes or conductive gels used in case of EEG or ECG.
Healthcare personnel should Be aware of the limited information and limited specific data on the prolonged and repeated use of silver dressings, especially in children and infants.
In the absence of specific clinical data, use in pregnant or breastfeeding women is not recommended.
Sterile individual packaging, single use only: reuse of a single-use package may pose a risk of infection.
Do not resterilize the dressing.
Before use, ensure that the sterile protective film is intact. Do not use if the package is damaged.
