URGO ALGOPL HP HYDROKO 20X20CM

The URGO ALGOPL HP HYDROKO 20x20cm is an advanced wound dressing designed to promote healing of extensive and heavily exuding wounds. It is a combination of a hydrocolloid layer, an alginate layer, and a hydrophilic foam layer that work together to provide optimal care for wounds.

The hydrocolloid layer of the URGO ALGOPL HP HYDROKO dressing is a soft and flexible layer that adheres gently to the wound bed, creating an environment that supports healing. This layer helps promote autolytic debridement, which refers to the natural breakdown of dead tissue by the body’s enzymes. The hydrocolloid layer also has an absorbent function that helps capture exudate and prevent leakages from the wound.

The alginate layer of the URGO ALGOPL HP HYDROKO dressing provides a moist environment that is ideal for wound healing. Alginate is derived from seaweed and is highly absorptive, making it an excellent choice for managing heavily exuding wounds. Alginate helps to keep the wound bed moist, which stimulates cell growth and promotes healing. It also has a gelling function that helps to create a barrier to protect the wound from outside contaminants.

The hydrophilic foam layer of the URGO ALGOPL HP HYDROKO dressing is designed to provide additional cushioning and protection to the wound. It is highly absorbent and helps to wick away exudate from the wound, keeping the surrounding skin dry and preventing maceration. The foam layer also has excellent fluid-handling capabilities, ensuring that the wound bed remains moist for optimal healing.

The URGO ALGOPL HP HYDROKO 20x20cm is perfect for use on difficult-to-dress wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers. It is easy to apply and requires minimal repositioning, making it an ideal choice for patients with limited mobility. The dressing can be worn for up to seven days, depending on the severity of the wound and the amount of exudate produced.

In summary, the URGO ALGOPL HP HYDROKO 20x20cm is an advanced wound dressing that combines the benefits of hydrocolloid, alginate, and hydrophilic foam layers to promote optimal wound healing. It effectively manages heavily exuding wounds and can be used for up to seven days, making it a convenient and cost-effective solution for wound management.
