  • leg ulcers
  • pressure injuries
  • diabetic foot ulcers
• long standing acute wounds.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

• UrgoStart® Plus NA facilitates the management of minor bleeding wounds. However it should not be used for heavily bleeding wounds.

PRECAUTIONS

• The soft-adherent layer of UrgoStart® Plus NA adheres to latex surgical gloves. Therefore it is recommended that the tabs be used to facilitate application of the dressing.
• As it includes a super-absorbent layer, UrgoStart® Plus NA should not be cut.
• If the wound shows signs of local infection, it is recommended that anti-microbial treatment is used first before starting treatment with UrgoStart® Plus NA.
• If an atypical ulcer presents induration or over-granulation, treatment with UrgoStart® Plus NA should only be initiated after verifying that ulcer deterioration is absent, to prevent any delay in diagnosis.
• In the absence of clinical data regarding Epidermolysis Bullosa (even for longstanding lesions), the use of UrgoStart® Plus NA is not recommended.
• Stinging or even painful sensations may be reported at the start of the treatment. These are usually linked to the healing process and the need to suspend treatment is rare.
• During desloughing, the wound may appear to get larger due to the gradual elimination of slough.
• Concomitant use with a cream, an ointment, an emulsion is not recommended.
• UrgoStart® Plus NA must not be used in a hyperbaric chamber.
• Sterile individual packaging, for single use only: re-using a disposable dressing can lead to the risks of infection.
  • Do not re-sterilise the dressing.
  • (*) Check that the sterile protector is intact before use. Do not use if package is damaged.
