The professional's guide to wound product selection
An ointment-like product containing refined natural resin from Norwegian spruce (Picea abies), which has been used as a traditional wound-care treatment in Finland for over 500 years. Creates a protective layer that enhances wound healing and inhibits bacteria (including MRSA) and certain fungi, helps prevent biofilm formation and promotes re-epithelialisation.
Primary dressing composed of 100% native equine Type I collagen that can accelerate the closure of hard-to-heal wounds.
Conformable cellulose dressing with enhanced fibres for strengthening. Adapts to wound bed and transforms wound fluid into a soft gel to support healing and removal of non-viable tissue.
Dressing with capillary, hydroductive and electrostatic actions that allow it to remove debris, control excessive wound exudate and draw out bacteria and harmful matrix metalloproteinases, setting the stage for wound healing or closure.
Sterile, conformable, superabsorbent dressing. Exudate is absorbed vertically by the dressing and retained in the Absorbest core to form a gel. A white hydrophilic wound contact layer transports fluid away from the wound and distributes it evenly into the core. The dressing’s blue hydrophobic backing reduces the risk of wound fluid strikethrough.
Sterile, conformable, superabsorbent dressing. Absorbs exudate vertically in the dressing and retains it in the core to form a gel.
Sterile, freeze-dried composite of oxidised regenerated cellulose and collagen. Gels on contact with exudate. Inactivates proteases and protects growth factors. Has demonstrated haemostatic properties, and can be used under compression therapy.
Family of collagen dressings, uniquely formulated with oxidised regenerated cellulose (ORC), and with demonstrated haemostatic properties.
Hydroactive, soft, conformable non-woven dressing made from sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and strengthening cellulose fibres to promote a moist wound environment and lock in cell debris and bacteria in wound exudate.
Flexible lipido-colloid non-occlusive contact layer containing TLC-NOSF Healing Matrix that jellifies in contact with wound exudate, reducing MMP levels and restoring balance to close wounds sooner. 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.
Soothing and highly absorbent hydrogel and cellulose dressing with conformable, non-adherent wound contact layer.
A highly adsorbent and flexible wound contact layer that provides an effective antimicrobial barrier to microbial contamination. Accelerates the wound healing process by entrapping and killing microbes on its surface, modulating proteases, and restoring the body’s natural trans-epithelial potential across the wound. Reduces odour, pain and exudate. Remains effective for 7 days.
A highly adsorbent, low-adherent, flexible, dual-sided wound contact layer that provides an effective barrier to microbial contamination. Accelerates the healing process by entrapping and killing microbes on its surface, modulating proteases and restoring the body’s natural trans-epithelial potential across the wound. Reduces odour, pain and exudate. Remains effective for 7 days.
