Donate moisture to dry necroses:
Necroses should be removed from the wound bed as they impair wound healing and hinder the assessment of wound size and depth. Autolytic debridement can be effectively supported by hydrogels.
Cutimed Gel shows high moisture donation and contributes to dissolving necroses – gently and effectively. Care must be taken not to over-apply so that maceration is prevented.
Cutimed Gel may be applied by the applicator provided, with a spatula or directly from the tube.
Maintain a moist environment:
A secondary dressing (film or foam dressing) needs to ensure the hydrogel remains in place in order to dissolve necroses effectively.
Film dressings (such as Leukomed T)
- prevent the hydrogel from drying out
- help to maintain a moist wound environment
Foam dressings (such as Cutimed Siltec B)
- prevent the hydrogel from drying out
- absorb wound exudate if present in other wound areas
