Purilon Gel Description Purilon is a gentle hydrogel made from natural ingredients, without any additives. It is used for wounds requiring effective and gentle debridement of necrotic tissue, thus promoting faster healing. The combination of hydrating and absorbent properties* promotes autolytic debridement and moist wound healing**. The applicator ensures controlled, simple, and aseptic application, allowing for one-handed use. The gel can be removed by rinsing. The gels viscous consistency makes it easier to stay in place; even after exudate and tissue fragments have been absorbed, the gel remains cohesive, preventing leakage and maceration. Purilon gel hydrates necrotic tissue and absorbs excess exudate, fibrin and tissue fragments from the wound. Composition Purilon gel is made from purified water, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and calcium alginate. Purilon is a very gentle gel because it is made from natural ingredients, without any additives. How to use Purilon gel is indicated for dry, necrotic, fibrinous wounds, as well as mixed wounds with necrotic and granulation tissue, such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, and non-infected diabetic foot ulcers. It can also be used on first- and second-degree burns. The gel can be used throughout the healing process to ensure an optimal moist wound environment. Purilon gel should be used in conjunction with a secondary dressing. Format Available in 15g and 25g.
