Use of this dressing does not negate the need for appropriate systemic anti-bacterial treatment of infected wounds in line with local policy. The soft-adherent Silver Healing Matrix (TLC-Ag) of UrgoClean Ag adheres to latex surgical gloves. It is therefore recommended that the dressing be handled carefully, avoiding any contact with the soft-adherent side or using sterile pliers. Concomitant use with other local treatments is not recommended. Avoid contact with electrodes or conductive gels during electronic measurements, e.g. EEG and ECG. Clinicians / Healthcare Professionals should be aware that there are very limited data on prolonged and repeated use of silver containing dressings, particularly in children and neonates. In the absence of any specific clinical data, use in pregnant or breast-feeding women, is not recommended. Do not use in a hyperbaric chamber. Single-use, individual packaging. Re-using a single use dressing may lead to risks of infection. Check that the sterile protector is intact before use. Do not re-sterilise. For elimination, discard according to current protocol. Discard any unused parts of the dressing. DIRECTIONS FOR USE: WOUND PREPARATION: Cleanse the wound using saline solution. In the event of prior use of an antiseptic (with the exception of contra-indicated antiseptics) carefully rinse the wound with saline solution before applying the dressing. The use of UrgoClean Ag does not dispense with the need for mechanical debridement when required. During the desloughing process, the wound may appear to be larger in size. This is due to the effective removal of slough. DRESSING CHANGES: UrgoClean Ag dressings should be changed every 1 to 2 days during the wound desloughing phase, then as often as required (up to 7 days) depending on the exudate volume and the clinical condition of the wound. The maximal duration of the treatment with UrgoClean Ag is one month.
