AQUA-GEL STERILE HYDROGEL DRESSING
AQUA-GEL hydrogel dressing is an aqueous composition of natural and synthetic polymers subjected to ionizing radiation, which causes cross-linking of polymer chains and ensures the sterility of the dressing. The dressing's form of use is a transparent, flexible sheet of hydrogel with a thickness of 4 mm.
Aqua-Gel is transparent, so you can observe the healing process without having to remove it, this feature also allows you to reduce the frequency of dressing changes. Due to its properties, Aqua-Gel will work well as a secondary dressing in the case of drugs and preparations applied directly to the wound
AQUA-GEL dressing is not recommended for wounds with a large amount of softening necrosis, with signs of infection, with large amounts of exudate, with purulent content. In these situations, it is necessary to surgically cleanse the wound before starting AQUA-GEL treatment, or to pre-apply highly absorbent dressings (Eclypse), Manuka honey dressings, or Microdacyn.
Application:
- 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree burns (thermal, chemical, electrical),
- sunburn,
- ulcers,
- bedsores,
- other chronic wounds (e.g. diabetic foot),
- abrasions, contusions, swelling.
Properties of the Aqua-Gel dressing:
- maintains an optimal, moist environment on the wound surface, thanks to which the epithelialization processes are accelerated,
- has absorption properties; secretion together with microorganisms are retained in the hydrogel structure,
- supports autolytic cleansing of the wound from dead tissue,
- shows good adhesion to the wound, but without a tendency to stick, thanks to which the change the dressing is painless for the patient,

- shows good adhesion to the wound, but without a tendency to stick, thanks to which the change the dressing is painless for the patient,
- it is a barrier to infection from the outside, and at the same time it is permeable to gases,
- it allows easy delivery of drugs by injection of the drug under the dressing or soaking the dressing in a solution medicine before use,
- it is flexible and soft, but strong enough, so it can be used to cover difficult-to-treat body surfaces such as joints, hands or face,
- transparent the hydrogel sheet allows observation of the wound,
- eliminates pain, giving the patient a soothing feeling, does not cause allergies, is non-allergenic.
The dressings are available in the following sizes:
- 5 cm,
- 6.5 cm,
- oval (5.5 x 11 cm)
