INTRASITE Gel, 8g Applipak, 1 Each

INTRASITE Gel is a hydrogel. 
INTENDED USES: INTRASITE GEL Dressing is indicated for the removal of non-viable tissue from shallow, undermined, and deep wounds: Pressure sores, Leg ulcers, Diabetic Foot Ulcers, Malignant Wounds, Burns, Surgical Wounds, Scalds, Lacerations, Grazes, Amputations, Fungating Ulcers
CLAIMED FEATURES: An amorphous hydrogel which gently re-hydrates necrotic tissue, facilitating autolytic debridement, while being able to loosen and absorb slough and exudate. It can also be used to provide the optimum moist wound management environment during the later stages of wound closure. It is non-adherent and does not harm viable tissue or the skin surrounding the wound. This makes INTRASITE Gel ideal for every stage in the wound management process.

Product Information

Hydrogel dressings are mostly formed by water or glycerin and therefore can provide a moist environment to dry wounds. An optimal amount of moisture is essential for adequate wound healing. These dressings cannot absorb fluid and should not be used on wounds that produce large quantities of fluid, on active bleeding or on infected wounds. Hydrogels are available in two forms: amorphous and fixed. Amorphous hydrogel can be easily applied and removed. They can easily mold to and fill a wound cavity space. Fixed hydrogels are thin, flexible sheets. Almost all hydrogels require another dressing on top.
