Description

UrgoStart Contact Dressing is an advanced wound care solution designed by Urgo to support the healing of chronic wounds. This innovative dressing features a non-adhesive, non-occlusive contact layer, making it ideal for wounds with delayed healing due to metabolic imbalances.

Key Technology

At the heart of UrgoStart Contact Dressing is the patented TLC-NOSF technology. This combines a lipido-colloid matrix with a nano-oligosaccharide factor, fostering a conducive environment for wound healing. The technology helps maintain a moist wound environment while limiting the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which can impede healing.

Design and Functionality

• Non-Adhesive and Non-Occlusive: Ensures pain-free removal without adhering to the wound bed.
• Highly Conformable: The polyester mesh construction allows the dressing to be cut to fit various wound shapes, including those in challenging locations.
• Breathable Structure: Enables exudate to pass through to a secondary dressing, maintaining optimal moisture balance.

Usage and Application

UrgoStart Contact Dressing is suitable for a range of chronic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous and arterial leg ulcers, and pressure injuries. It is intended for wounds with low to no exudate and can be used from the appearance of granulation tissue until complete healing.

Contraindications

The dressing should not be used on malignant wounds, wounds on mucous membranes, or in individuals with known hypersensitivity to its components. It is also not recommended for use during hyperbaric oxygen therapy or on fully fibrinous or necrotic wounds.

Product Specifications

• Sizes Available: 5 x 7 cm, 10 x 10 cm, and 15 x 20 cm.
• Packaging: Each box contains 10 sterile dressings.

Clinical Support

UrgoStart Contact Dressing is backed by clinical studies and international guidelines, demonstrating its effectiveness in reducing healing time for chronic wounds and improving patient quality of life. It is a single-use product, supplied sterile, and should be stored in a dry, cool place.

Maintenance and Replacement

The dressing can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on wound condition, and should be changed based on clinical assessment. It is recommended as part of a comprehensive wound management plan, with frequency and duration of use determined by healthcare professionals.
