Frequently asked questions
Does this dressing start working quickly?
Yes, UrgoClean Ag is designed for rapid performance. It begins its antibacterial action within just 30 minutes of application and achieves 99.99% efficacy against major bacterial strains within 24 hours.
Does this dressing help clean the wound bed?
Absolutely. The dressing features polyabsorbent cohesive fibers that utilize hydro-desloughing technology. These fibers work to actively drain sloughy residue from the wound, helping to promote a clean environment for healing.
Is the removal process painful?
The dressing is designed for atraumatic, pain-free removal. It uses a proprietary Lipido-Colloid Technology (TLC) matrix that gels upon contact with exudate, ensuring the dressing does not stick to the wound bed.
Can this be used on antibiotic-resistant infections?
Yes, UrgoClean Ag is highly versatile and is specifically indicated for managing challenging wounds, including those with antibiotic-resistant infections such as MRSA and VRE.
What type of material is the dressing made from?
The dressing is constructed from nonwoven polyacrylate fibers. This material is chosen for its high absorption capacity and structural integrity, ensuring it remains effective while managing wound exudate.
Is this dressing adhesive or non-adhesive?
This is a non-adhesive dressing without a border. Because of this design, it is frequently used in conjunction with secondary dressings or compression bandages to keep it securely in place.
Is this suitable for diabetic foot ulcers?
Yes, it is highly recommended for complex chronic wounds. Its clinical utility includes:
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Leg ulcers
- Pressure ulcers
- Burns and abrasions
- Post-operative wounds
How do the fibers stay effective in the wound?
The polyabsorbent fibers are arranged parallel to the wound surface. This structural orientation maximizes the dressing’s ability to absorb exudate and pull sloughy residue away from the wound bed.
Is the silver protection long-lasting?
The silver is integrated into the TLC-Ag healing matrix, providing a continuous antibacterial barrier throughout the wear time of the dressing, protecting the wound from bacterial growth.
How many dressings come in a package?
Each box contains 10 sterile, individually packed dressings measuring 4 x 5 inches each.
