Frequently asked questions
Does this hydrogel support wound healing?
Yes, the IntraSite Gel is specifically engineered to support wound care across every stage of the healing process.
As an amorphous hydrogel dressing, it provides a crucial moist wound environment. Its key benefits include:
- Tissue Rehydration: It is formulated to rehydrate necrotic tissue, which facilitates effective debridement (the body’s natural cleaning process).
- Non-Adherent: The gel minimizes discomfort and trauma upon removal because it does not stick to viable tissue or the surrounding skin.
Is the gel gentle on delicate tissue?
Yes, the IntraSite Gel is specifically formulated to be gentle and non-damaging to surrounding skin and viable tissue.
Key benefits regarding tissue protection:
- Non-Adherent: The amorphous hydrogel formulation does not stick to viable tissue, minimizing trauma and patient discomfort during dressing changes.
- Tissue Compatibility: It is designed to specifically rehydrate necrotic tissue without harming healthy, viable tissue or the surrounding skin.
How many units are included per carton?
The product is supplied as a Carton of 10 (CTN 10).
- Each carton contains 10 individual INTRASITE GEL APPLIPAK units.
- Each application unit holds 25g of the amorphous hydrogel dressing.
What are the key therapeutic benefits of this gel?
The Smith & Nephew IntraSite Gel offers several key therapeutic benefits essential for comprehensive wound management:
- Facilitates Autolytic Debridement: The amorphous hydrogel actively rehydrates necrotic (dead) tissue, thereby facilitating the body’s natural process of autolytic debridement (the gentle breakdown and removal of non-viable tissue).
- Minimizes Trauma: The gel features a non-adherent formulation. This ensures it does not stick to viable tissue or the surrounding skin, which significantly minimizes trauma and discomfort during dressing changes.
- Supports All Healing Stages: The versatility of the formulation makes it ideal for use across every stage of the wound healing process, from initial cleansing through to granulation.
Is the product factory sealed?
Yes, the product is supplied as ‘Factory New’, ensuring it is in pristine, original condition.
Is the gel suitable for all wound stages?
Yes, the IntraSite Gel Amorphous Hydrogel Dressing is specifically formulated for use in every stage of the wound healing process.
This versatility is due to its key characteristics:
- Autolytic Debridement: It effectively rehydrates hard, dry necrotic tissue, facilitating the body’s natural debridement process.
- Moist Healing Environment: It maintains an optimal moist wound environment crucial for effective healing.
- Non-Adherence: The formulation is non-adherent, meaning it does not stick to viable tissue or the surrounding skin, which helps to minimize trauma and pain during dressing changes.
Is the IntraSite Gel available in different sizes?
Currently, the INTRASITE GEL APPLIPAK is only available in a single size configuration:
- 25g per individual applicator unit.
This product is supplied exclusively as a Carton of 10 units (CTN 10).
How many units are included in the carton?
The carton includes 10 individual units of the Smith & Nephew INTRASITE GEL APPLIPAK. Each unit contains 25g of the amorphous hydrogel dressing.
Is the INTRASITE GEL dressing non-adherent?
Yes, the Smith & Nephew INTRASITE GEL is specifically formulated as a non-adherent amorphous hydrogel dressing.
This crucial feature ensures that the gel does not stick to viable tissue or the surrounding skin, significantly minimizing patient discomfort and reducing trauma during dressing changes.
Does this gel effectively rehydrate necrotic tissue?
Yes, the IntraSite Gel Amorphous Hydrogel Dressing is highly effective in managing necrotic tissue.
Its key mechanism is to actively rehydrate necrotic tissue, which is essential for facilitating autolytic debridement. This means the gel supports the body’s natural process of gently removing dead tissue while ensuring the wound maintains the moist environment necessary for optimal healing. Additionally, the gel is non-adherent, which helps minimize trauma to viable tissue and the surrounding skin upon removal.
