UrgoClean^®

INDICATIONS

• Deslouching phase of chronic exuding wounds (eg leg ulcers, pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers)
• Potentially sloughy wounds
  • acute wounds (burns, skin abrasions, traumatic wounds)
  • post-operative wound
  • cancerous wounds

CONTRAINDICATIONS

• Do not use if there is a known sensitivity to UrgoClean^®
• Do not use UrgoClean^® as a surgical sponge for heavily bleeding wounds

PRECAUTIONS

• The soft-adherent TLC layer of UrgoClean^® adheres to latex gloves. It is therefore recommended that the dressing be handled carefully, avoiding any contact with the soft-adherent side or using sterile forceps
• The concomitant use of a cream, lotion, ointment or emulsion is not recommended
• Due to the non-occlusive nature of this dressing, UrgoClean^® can be used on infected wounds under close medical supervision
• During the desloughing process, the wound may appear to be larger in size. This is due to the effective removal of slough
• UrgoClean^® must not be used in a hyperbaric chamber
• Do not re-sterilise the dressing
• Check that the sterile protector is intact before use. Do not use if package is damaged
• Single use sterile individual packaging: re-using a single use dressing may lead to risks of infection
