IntraSite* Gel Amorphous Hydrogel Dressing
Featutres:
• Partially hydrated hydrogel formulation
• Contains propylene glycol
IntraSite Gel’s partially hydrated formulation allows the gel to donate moisture to drier environments and absorb in wetter environments, creating a moist wound healing environment.
Debriding Action
IntraSite Gel rehydrates necrotic tissue and, by its gentle yet effective action, promotes rapid debridement.
Desloughing Action
Intrasite Gel absorbs slough and exudate without damaging fragile granulation tissue.
Creates a Moist Wound Healing Environment
IntraSite Gel increases moisture content at the wound surface, preventing eschar formation. By keeping fragile granulation tissue moist, IntraSite Gel helps to create a moist wound healing environment, allowing the migration of epithelialising cells.
Non-Adherent
IntraSite Gel is non-adherent so is easily removed from the wound by irrigation with normal sterile saline; without damaging fragile tissue or causing unnecessary pain for the patient.
Clinically Proven
Extensive clinical support; suitable for use at all stages of the wound healing process.
Bacteriostatic Effect
IntraSite Gel contains propylene glycol which has bacteriostatic properties. In addition, propylene glycol acts as a humectant (moisturiser) which prevents the gel from drying out and improves handling.
Easy to Use
The unique Applipak system provides simple, directable and controlled application even in awkward wound sites.
