Two-layer, latex-free compression system for patients who are less tolerant of compression. Delivers continuous restorative compression. Comprises layer 1 (an absorbent zinc-impregnated comfort roll to ease pain and skin irritation) and layer 2 (a cohesive short-stretch bandage). Kit includes nylon stocking for ease of movement under clothes and on bedsheets.
Non-sting medical adhesive remover containing certified health-care grade silicone ingredients.
Composite dressing containing a silicone membrane with a knitted nylon fabric partially embedded in it. A purified porcine collagen is bound to the fabric. Blood and sera clot in the fabric, adhering the dressing to the wound surface until epithelialisation can occur. Also available in glove form for use on burns of the hand.
This gentle, easy-to-use wound debridement gel softens and selectively removes devitalised tissue and biofilm, without causing trauma or bleeding. It uses a two-component hypochlorite system and has antimicrobial properties. It requires minimal training and a short application time.

Sterile, freeze-dried matrix consisting of collagen and calcium alginate. Collagen is obtained from bovine dermis and consists of collagen types I, III and V. Has haemostyptic properties, supports wound healing, is soft and easy to mould, and has a good absorptive capacity.
A single-use, single-application, acidic, dehydrating gel intended for topical application to debride and remove biofilm and necrosis from the wound surface. Application time is up to 60 seconds, following which the gel needs to be removed from the skin by rinsing with saline or water and rubbing dry with sterile gauze.
Non-sting 100% silicone medical adhesive remover that does not cause skin trauma and evaporates in seconds. Does not leave any film or coating so there is no need to clean the skin before a new application.
Hydro-responsive wound dressing that cleanses, debrides, desloughs and absorbs. Also available in a cavity version for deep wounds.
Non-sting medical adhesive remover containing certified health-care grade silicone ingredients. Available as wipes and aerosol. Designed to easily break strong adhesive bonds and minimise the risk of medical adhesive-related skin injury (skin stripping) and pain on removal.
Silicone-based spray for easy, pain-free removal of all types of adhesives, including plasters, tapes, dressings, stoma and adhesive patches. Contains ingredients that quickly form a layer that interrupts the adhesive bond so the adhesive product can be gently lifted away. The ingredients evaporate quickly, leaving no residue, enabling a new adhesive product to be applied.
No-sting, non-cold, silicone-based medical adhesive remover wipes and aerosol spray.

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.
Polyabsorbent fibre dressing 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. Also contains a superabsorbent layer and a silicone border with showerproof backing. 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.
