Product features: UrgoTül UrgoTül is a product of Lipidocolloid Technology (TLC) developed by Laboratoires URGO. UrgoTül is a non-occlusive, flexible, and conformable lipidocolloid gauze dressing consisting of a polyester fiber mesh impregnated with hydrocolloid particles (carboxymethylcellulose), paraffin, petrolatum, and polymers. Characteristics: Upon contact with wound exudate, the hydrocolloid particles gel and, together with the petrolatum component of UrgoTül, form a lipidocolloid boundary layer. This creates favorable conditions for the healing process (healing in a moist environment). Due to its chemical composition, which is not greasy to the touch, UrgoTül does not stick to the wound or its edges: dressing changes are painless and atraumatic for the patient. This results in the following specific properties: Maintaining a moist environment that is favorable for wound healing. Atraumatic removal for the newly formed tissue. Painless dressing changes for the patient. Indications: UrgoTül is used for the treatment of: acute wounds (burns, abrasions, traumatic wounds, postoperative wounds), chronic wounds (pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers) in the granulation and epithelialization phase. Wounds as a result of the hereditary disease Epidermolysis Bullosa. Due to its flexibility and very good adaptability, UrgoTül is particularly suitable for covering jagged wounds or wounds in difficult locations, as well as for packing deep wounds. Instructions for use: Clean the wound according to the usual care protocol. If an antiseptic was previously used, thoroughly rinse the wound with physiological saline solution before applying UrgoTül. Remove the protective film from UrgoTül. Apply UrgoTül directly to the wound. UrgoTül can be cut with a sterile instrument to adjust the size of the dressing to the wound and surrounding tissue. Cover UrgoTül with a secondary dressing appropriate to the volume of exudate and secure it with an elastic bandage, adhesive tape, or tubular elastic bandage. UrgoTül is changed every 2 to 4 days, depending on the wound being treated and its clinical condition. UrgoTül can remain on the wound for up to 7 days with multilayer compression in the case of venous leg ulcers. When treating wounds resulting from the hereditary disease epidermolysis bullosa, the dressing should be changed every one to three days. Warnings and precautions: UrgoTül adheres to disposable latex surgical gloves. To facilitate the application of UrgoTül, it is advisable to moisten the gloves with physiological saline solution. If clinical signs of a local infection appear, treatment can be switched to an antibacterial wound dressing after consultation with the treating physician. In the case of a deep, fissured or fistula-like wound, UrgoTül should be positioned so that part of the dressing remains visible and easily accessible outside the wound. UrgoTül must not be used in a hyperbaric chamber. Sterile single packs are intended for single use only. Reusing a single-use wound dressing can cause infection. Check the integrity of the sterile individual packaging before use. Do not use if it is damaged. Do not re-sterilize the wound dressing.
