Frequently asked questions
Is the hydrogel dressing non-adherent?
Yes, the Smith & Nephew INTRASITE GEL is an amorphous hydrogel dressing specifically formulated to be non-adherent. This is a critical feature because:
- It does not stick to viable tissue or the surrounding healthy skin.
- It ensures that the wound area is not harmed during removal or dressing changes, helping to minimize trauma and support the ongoing healing process.
Is this gel suitable for all wound healing stages?
Yes, the IntraSite Gel is designed for versatile application and is ideal for use across every stage of the wound healing process.
As an amorphous hydrogel dressing, it functions primarily to:
- Rehydrate Necrotic Tissue: Actively aids in the debridement process by rehydrating the wound bed.
- Maintain Viable Tissue: The gel is non-adherent, ensuring it does not harm viable tissue or the skin surrounding the wound during application or removal.
How does this hydrogel dressing aid healing?
This amorphous hydrogel dressing supports wound healing by creating an optimal moist environment and facilitating debridement:
- Rehydrates Necrotic Tissue: The primary function is to actively rehydrate necrotic tissue, which assists in the body’s natural debridement process.
- Non-Adherent Formula: The gel is non-adherent, ensuring it does not harm viable tissue or the skin surrounding the wound during application or removal.
- Versatile Application: It is suitable for application during every stage of the wound healing process.
What is the gel quantity per applicator?
Each INTRASITE GEL APPLIPAK contains 15g of the amorphous hydrogel dressing.
How many 15g units are included?
The INTRASITE GEL APPLIPAK is supplied as a carton containing 10 individual units.
Each unit consists of a 15g application of the amorphous hydrogel dressing.
Is this a factory new product?
Yes, the Smith & Nephew INTRASITE GEL APPLIPAK is supplied in Factory New condition. This ensures the integrity and sterility of the amorphous hydrogel dressing system.
Is this an advanced amorphous hydrogel dressing?
Yes, this product is the Smith & Nephew INTRASITE GEL APPLIPAK, which contains an advanced amorphous hydrogel dressing. This specialized formulation is designed for effective wound management because:
- It is non-adherent, ensuring it does not damage viable tissue or the skin surrounding the wound during application or removal.
- It actively rehydrates necrotic tissue, aiding in the necessary debridement process.
- It is suitable for use across virtually every stage of the wound healing continuum.
What is the primary function of this hydrogel dressing?
The primary function of the Smith & Nephew INTRASITE GEL is to act as an amorphous hydrogel dressing designed to promote moist wound healing.
Key functions include:
- Tissue Rehydration: It actively rehydrates necrotic (dead) tissue, which helps facilitate the necessary natural debridement process.
- Non-Adherence: The formulation is non-adherent, ensuring it does not harm viable tissue or the surrounding skin upon removal or during dressing changes.
- Versatility: It is suitable for application across virtually every stage of the wound healing continuum.
What is the Manufacturer Part Number (MPN)?
The Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) for the Smith & Nephew INTRASITE GEL APPLIPAK is 66027311.
Is this gel effective for debridement?
Yes, the Smith & Nephew INTRASITE GEL is highly effective for promoting debridement.
The amorphous hydrogel dressing achieves this by performing the following key function:
- Tissue Rehydration: It actively rehydrates necrotic tissue, which is essential for facilitating the natural debridement process and creating optimal conditions for wound healing.
Furthermore, the gel is non-adherent, ensuring it helps with debridement without harming viable tissue or the skin surrounding the wound during application or dressing changes.
