DESCRIPTION
Sterile non-occlusive, non-adhesive and antibacterial lipid-colloidal contact layer (from Lipido-Colloidal Technology, an exclusive innovation patented by Laboratoires Urgo).

COMPOSITION
UrgoTul Ag / Silver is a lipid-colloidal dressing consisting of a polyester mesh impregnated with lipidocolloid particles (Carboxymethylcellulose), petroleum jelly particles and silver ions.

STERILIZATION METHOD
Ionizing radiations.

PROPERTY

• The silver ions have a bactericidal action on most of the microorganisms involved in secondary infections: gram-positive (MRSA, Staphylococcus Aureusà), gram-negative (Pseudomonas Aeruginosaà) and yeasts.
• In contact with the wound exudate, the hydrocolloid particles of the product form a lipid-colloidal gel and create a moist environment conducive to the healing process.
• The silver ions are incorporated in this lipid-colloidal gel, carrying out the antibacterial activity only in the area in contact with the lesion.
• Due to its composition it does not adhere to the lesion or to the surrounding skin. Removal of the dressing is painless and atraumatic for the injury.
• It is flexible and comfortable.

INDICATIONS
Indicated for the local treatment of acute low to moderately exuding wounds and chronic wounds at risk of infection or with signs of local infection.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Cleanse the lesion with saline.
• If you have previously used an antiseptic, rinse the lesion thoroughly with saline solution before applying the product.
• Remove the clear protective films from the dressing.

• Avoid contact with conductive electrodes or gels used in case of EEG or ECG.
