Urgo Medical 509341 UrgoTul Ag/Silver Contact Layer Sillver 4 x 5inch (x)

This dressing incorporates the powerful antibacterial properties of silver to prevent infection, making it an excellent choice for managing wounds that are at risk of infection or already colonized by harmful bacteria. Measuring 4 x 5 inches, this versatile contact layer is suitable for a range of wound sizes and types, including ulcers, pressure sores, burns, and post-operative wounds.

Key Features:

Antimicrobial Silver Technology: The UrgoTul Ag/Silver Contact Layer is infused with silver, a well-known antimicrobial agent, to inhibit the growth of bacteria in and around the wound. Silver ions are released in a controlled manner, targeting bacteria without harming healthy tissue. This antimicrobial protection is crucial for preventing wound infections, especially in chronic wounds or those with high exudate levels. Silver's broad-spectrum efficacy helps reduce the risk of complications, such as delayed healing, wound odor, and infection spread.

Non-Adherent Contact Layer: The non-adherent design of UrgoTul Ag ensures that the dressing does not stick to the wound bed, minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes. This is particularly important for fragile or sensitive skin, as it prevents disruption of newly formed tissue and reduces patient discomfort. The dressing’s gentle adherence to surrounding skin makes it easy to remove without damaging the wound, while its soft texture ensures it conforms smoothly to the wound surface.

Promotes Moist Wound Healing: Moist wound healing is widely recognized as the optimal environment for faster, more efficient wound repair. The UrgoTul Ag/Silver Contact Layer maintains a moist environment by interacting with wound exudate, allowing for faster cellular repair and reduced scarring. Moisture helps keep the wound bed hydrated, preventing it from drying out, which can delay healing and cause unnecessary pain. This feature makes the dressing particularly effective for slow-healing wounds, such as venous leg ulcers or diabetic foot ulcers.

Versatile Application: The 4 x 5 inch size makes the UrgoTul Ag/Silver Contact Layer suitable for a variety of wound types, including small to medium-sized ulcers, surgical incisions, donor sites, and minor burns. Its flexible design allows it to conform to different parts of the body, including awkward areas like elbows, knees, or ankles. The dressing can also be easily cut to size, ensuring a snug fit for smaller wounds or areas that require precise coverage.

Compatible with Secondary Dressings: UrgoTul Ag is designed to be used in conjunction with secondary absorbent dressings, such as foam or gauze, for comprehensive wound management. The primary contact layer ensures antimicrobial protection and moist healing, while the secondary dressing absorbs excess exudate and provides additional padding and protection. This layered approach to wound care ensures that the dressing can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the wound, whether it requires additional absorbency, support, or protection from friction.

Long-Lasting Antibacterial Effect: The silver ions in the UrgoTul Ag dressing are released gradually over time, providing sustained antimicrobial protection for up to several days. This long-lasting effect reduces the frequency of dressing changes, which can be beneficial for both patients and healthcare providers. Fewer dressing changes help minimize disruption to the wound bed and reduce the overall cost of care while ensuring consistent infection control throughout the healing process.

Reduced Pain and Trauma: The atraumatic design of the UrgoTul Ag/Silver Contact Layer significantly reduces pain and trauma associated with wound care. Patients with chronic wounds, such as pressure sores or venous ulcers, often experience discomfort during dressing changes. The non-adherent layer minimizes this discomfort, allowing for a more comfortable wound care experience, and contributes to faster recovery by minimizing tissue damage.

Applications:

Chronic Wounds: Suitable for managing venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and pressure ulcers that are prone to infection or require prolonged care.
Burns: Ideal for superficial or partial-thickness burns, helping to reduce the risk of infection and promote faster healing.
Post-Surgical Wounds: Provides protection for post-operative wounds, minimizing the risk of bacterial colonization and promoting clean, efficient healing.
Infected or At-Risk Wounds: Effective for wounds that are already infected or at high risk of becoming infected, thanks to the broad-spectrum antibacterial action of silver.

The Urgo Medical 509341 UrgoTul Ag/Silver Contact Layer is a highly effective wound care solution that combines antimicrobial silver technology with a non-adherent, atraumatic design. Its ability to prevent infection while promoting moist wound healing makes it ideal for a wide range of wound types, from chronic ulcers to post-operative wounds. With its flexible, comfortable, and easy-to-use design, UrgoTul Ag ensures optimal healing conditions, reduces pain during dressing changes, and provides long-lasting protection, making it a valuable addition to any wound care regimen.
