Desloughing dressings

UrgoClean

UrgoClean

A sterile, absorbent dressing made of polyabsorbent fibres and a non-adherent TLC-Ag Healing Matrix that enables pain-free dressing changes and can stay in place for up to 7 days. The polyabsorbent fibres provide a continuous cleansing action to remove slough and exudate. Available in pad and rope formats.

UrgoClean Ag

A sterile, absorbent dressing made of polyabsorbent fibres and the non-adherent TLC-Ag Healing Matrix that enables pain-free dressing changes and can stay in place for up to 7 days. The polyabsorbent fibres in the dressing pad provide a complete and continuous cleaning action to remove slough and exudate and the silver ions provide fast and broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy. This combined cleaning and antimicrobial action is designed to defeat biofilms and prevents their reattachment.

UrgoStart Plus Pad

Polyabsorbent fibre pad containing soft-adherent TLC-NOSF Healing Matrix that jellifies in contact with wound exudate, reducing MMP levels and restoring balance to close wounds sooner. The polyabsorbent fibres bind, trap and retain exudate, slough and debris. NICE 2019 medical technology guidance (MTG42) states that evidence supports the case for adopting UrgoStart dressings to treat diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers.
