DuoDERM Hydrogel STERILE GEL

for the management of partial or full thickness wounds, also as a filler for dry cavity lesions, to provide a moist healing environment.

Features:
sterile gel, transparent, preservative-free, viscous, incorporating a special hydrocolloid formulation.

Code: 9226 / 9225 partial and full thickness such as leg ulcers and pressure sores.
The gel creates a moist healing environment that helps promote natural autolytic debridement processes.

How to use
Clean the wound well with water or saline solution, according to the protocol in use.
Dry the surrounding skin.
Unscrew the cap.
Remove and discard the white protective ring and with the cap itself pierce the membrane of the tube.
Apply the gel directly to the wound. Some packages contain a sterile nozzle applicator. The applicator can be attached to the neck of the tube to facilitate application in deeper wounds. Do not fill the wound above the level of the perilesional skin.
An optimal healing environment can be created by covering the wound with a dressing that retains moisture.
The gel should be changed at the first signs of gel loss from the edges of the covering dressing or at routine changes of the latter.
The gel can be easily removed with a sterile saline solution.
It is recommended to renew the gel at most every three days when the wound is cloudy or necrotic, and at most every seven days when it is clean and/or granulating.
