UrgoStart Plus Pad
Absorbent dressings Urgo

UrgoStart Plus Pad

Polyabsorbent fibre pad containing soft-adherent TLC-NOSF healing matrix that jellifies in contact with wound exudate, reducing MMP levels and restoring balance to close wounds sooner, regardless of wound type. The polyabsorbent fibres bind, trap and retain exudate, slough and debris.

Indications

Management of pressure ulcers (category 1–2) and other wounds with no-to-low exudate; use with a secondary dressing if exudative.

Contraindications

Do not use on infected or critically colonised wounds, cancerous wounds and fistula wounds that may reveal a deep abscess, or if there is a known sensitivity to the dressing.
