Description
Purilon Hydrogel by Coloplast is an advanced wound care solution designed to enhance the healing process through effective moisture management. This sterile hydrogel dressing is crafted from natural ingredients, free from additives, to ensure gentle care for various wound types.
Key Benefits
-
Moisture Management: Purilon Hydrogel excels in maintaining an optimal moist environment, crucial for wound healing. Its hydrating and absorbing properties help in the natural autolytic debridement of necrotic tissue, promoting cleaner wounds and faster recovery.
-
Viscous Texture: The high viscosity of the gel ensures it stays in place, reducing leakage and minimizing the risk of maceration. This cohesive texture allows for easy removal by simple rinsing, leaving the wound area clean and undisturbed.
-
Easy Application: The gel is clear and non-sticky, conforming readily to wound surfaces. It comes with a unique one-handed accordion applicator, allowing for controlled, aseptic application even in challenging conditions.
Composition
- Purified Water
- Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose
- Calcium Alginate
These components work together to provide a dressing that is preservative-free and not made with natural rubber latex, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
