INTRASITE Gel Hydrogel Wound Dressing

INTRASITE Gel Hydrogel Wound Dressing

INTRASITE Gel is an amorphous hydrogel which gently re-hydrates necrotic tissue, facilitating autolytic debridement, while being able to loosen and absorb slough and exudate. It can also be used to provide the optimum moist wound management environment during the later stages of wound closure. It is non-adherent and does not harm viable tissue or the skin surrounding the wound. Comes in an easy-to-use Applipak delivery system. Contains no preservatives, and can be used throughout the wound management process.

• Partially hydrated hydrogel formulation
• Contains propylene glycol
• Debriding action: INTRASITE Gel rehydrates necrotic tissue and, by its gentle yet effective action, aids 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, helping prevent eschar formation. By keeping fragile granulation tissue moist and allowing the migration of epithelializing cells, INTRASITE Gel helps to create an optimal moist wound management environment. 
• Gentle action: Effective yet gentle action leaves delicate granulation tissue undisturbed helping to reduce trauma. 
• Non-adherent: INTRASITE Gel is non-adherent so it is easily removed from the wound by irrigation with normal saline; without damaging fragile tissue or causing unnecessary pain for the patient. Extensive clinical support, suitable for use at all stages of the wound management process. INTRASITE Gel contains propylene glycol which acts as a humectant (moisturizer) 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.
• Currently the 25g (.88 oz) size is only available by case.
• 10 Per Pack / 4 Packs Per Case
• Manufacturer: Smith & Nephew
