UrgoTul Silver

Urgo Medical

Description

Flexible and conformable antimicrobial contact layer, consisting of a non-adherent TLC-Ag Healing Matrix that enables pain-free dressing changes and can stay in place for up to 7 days. The silver ions provide a fast and broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy, including on strains that are resistant to antibiotics.

Indications

All wounds at risk of or with signs of local infection, including chronic wounds (leg ulcers, pressure ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers) and acute wounds (burns, traumatic wounds and surgical wounds). Can be used with a secondary dressing or under compression if needed. Due to its non-adhesive nature it is recommended for wounds with weakened periwound skin.

Contraindications

Sensitivity to silver. Do not use on patients undergoing an MRI scan; a new dressing can be applied after the procedure.
