Urgoclean Ag is an innovative, absorbent, gelling non-woven dressing with poly-absorbent fibers and a TLC-Ag colloidal lipid matrix for complete cleansing, debridement, and antimicrobial action.
Indications
Urgoclean Ag is an innovative, absorbent, gelling non-woven dressing made of poly-absorbent polyacrylate fibers that ensure complete cleansing and debridement (of 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 provides antimicrobial, anti-biofilm, and complete cleansing action.
- The Tlc-Ag matrix of Urgoclean Ag gels upon contact with wound exudate, reducing the bacterial load in the wound with a rapid, broad-spectrum action (tested on 36 bacterial strains and 4 yeasts, including antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains - MRSA, ERV, ESBL).
- Upon contact with the wound, the poly-absorbent fibers of Urgoclean Ag gel and break down the biofilm matrix, allowing the silver ions to perform 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 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 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 It can be combined with compression therapy, when prescribed.
Composition
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 combat local infection through a combined antimicrobial/anti-biofilm action and complete cleansing. UrgoClean Ag has the ability to cleanse and maintain the wound clean.
Directions for use
Cleanse the wound using the conventional care protocol, then rinse with saline. If previously used, rinse thoroughly with saline. If an antiseptic has been used, rinse the wound thoroughly with saline before applying Urgoclean Ag. The 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 size of the wound. It is recommended to use a bandage to secure the dressing and ensure it remains in place. Additionally, Urgoclean Ag can be covered with a secondary dressing appropriate to 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 condition 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 due to effective slough removal.
Interactions
Do not use Urgoclean Ag in combination with oxygen peroxide, organomercury-based antiseptics, or hexamidine-containing antiseptics.
Concomitant use with other local treatments is not recommended.
Avoid contact with electrodes or conductive gels used in case of EEG or ECG.
Warnings
Urgoclean Ag is not Recommended for use as a surgical sponge for highly exuding wounds.
Treatment with Urgoclean Ag must be performed under medical supervision.
The use of Urgoclean Ag does not replace the need for systemic antibacterial treatment for infection, in line with local protocol.
Healthcare personnel should be informed of the limited information and limited specific data on the prolonged and repeated use of silver dressings, especially in children and neonates.
Individually sterile packaging, single use only: reuse of a single-use packaging may cause serious injury. pose a risk of infection.
Do not re-sterilize the dressing.
Before use, ensure that the sterile protective film is intact. Do not use if the packaging is damaged.
Contraindications
Contraindicated in cases of known sensitivity to silver.
Do not use on patients undergoing Open Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
