Urgo Urgostart Sterile Dressing 15x15 10U

Directions for Use:

1. Cleanse the wound thoroughly with a suitable wound cleanser and gently dry the surrounding skin.
2. Select the appropriate size of UrgoStart dressing, ensuring it covers the entire wound and extends slightly onto the surrounding healthy skin.
3. Remove the protective backing from the dressing and carefully apply it to the wound bed, avoiding stretching or wrinkling.
4. Smooth the dressing gently over the wound surface to ensure good contact.
5. Cover the UrgoStart dressing with a secondary dressing, such as a sterile gauze pad and appropriate bandage, to secure it in place and provide additional protection.

Recommended Frequency:

UrgoStart dressings can typically be left in place for up to 7 days, depending on the amount of exudate. The dressing should be changed when clinically indicated, such as increased exudate, leakage, or signs of infection. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice on dressing change frequency.

Additional Tips:

1. Do not cut the UrgoStart dressing as this may compromise its integrity. 2. Avoid using creams or ointments directly under the dressing unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional. 3. If the dressing adheres to the wound, moisten it with sterile saline solution before removal to minimize trauma. 4. For optimal wound healing, follow the advice of your healthcare professional regarding wound care and management. 5. If you experience any signs of infection, such as increased pain, redness, swelling, or foul odor, contact your healthcare professional immediately.
