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.
All stages (from desloughing to complete healing) of non-exuding or low exuding wounds, including leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers and long-standing acute wounds. Use with a secondary absorbent dressing for exuding wounds.
Do not use on infected or critically colonised wounds, cancerous wounds and fistula wounds that may reveal a deep abscess, or if there is a known sensitivity to the dressing
6×6cm, £3.54
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.
