Key Features of Urgocell silver Dressings
Description
Urgocell® Silver is a super absorbent, non occlusive, non adhesive dressing, impregnated with Silver, and using the Lipido-Colloid Technology (TLC), an
exclusive innovation patented by Laboratoires Urgo.
Urgocell® Silver is composed of 3 layers:
? Non adherent lipido-colloid interface (hydrocolloid-petroleum jelly, cohesive polymers and a polyester mesh) on contact with the wound
? Expanded super absorbent polyurethane foam pad
? Non woven, semi permeable 100% polyurethane backing
Absorption of exudates
The super-absorbent polymer is characterized by a high capacity for vertical absorption of exudates.
? Retention capacity of exudates under pressure
High vertical absorption and exudates retention capacity guarantees healing without maceration under compression.
? Formation of the Lipido-colloid gel on contact with exudates
The hydrocolloid particles (CMC-Na) of the dressing in contact with the wound exudates hydrate to form a moist interface enabling healing in a moist environment.
The petroleum jelly component increases non-adhesion to the wound.
? Antibacterial activity
Silver ions included in the TLC interface offer a contact powerful and efficient anti-bacterial activity
? Semi-permeable structure of the dressing's non-woven backing
The permeability of the external backing is responsible for the dressing's extremely high permeability
? Painless and atraumatic removal
