UrgoStart Plus Border - Adhesive Dressing

UrgoStart Plus Border reduces healing time and cleans the wound of slough exudate, and bacterial residue. The TLC-NOSF healing matrix forms a gel when in contact with the wound and reduces healing time by inhibiting excess metallo-pfoteinases, which degrade
the extracellular matrix. It also creates a moist environment and promotes the action of the key cells involved in the healing process (fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and macrophages).

When in contact with the wound, the poly-absorbent fibres in UrgoStart Plus Border gel. The dressing absorbs and traps slough, exudate and bacterial residue present in the wound, for an aurolytic desloughing. The poly-absorbent fibres offer a high level of cohesion of the dressing allowing it to be removed painlessly in one piece, without causing trauma to the wound.

The poly-absorbent pad and the super-absorbent layer in UrgoStart Plus Border ensure a high absorption and fluid management of exudate preventing maceration.The dressing can be used under compression bandage when prescribed.

UrgoStart Plus Borderr water proof backing is soft, very conformable and non-occlusive which allows the dressing to conform and adapt to each different wound. It also prevents fluid leakage and "bacteria stnkethrough. Its high vapour permeability characteristics allow the excess exudate to evaporate, preventing from the risk of maceration. The dressing can adapt to different body movements, ensuring patient comfort. The silicone adhesive borders guarantee that the dressing adheres well, can be easily repositioned and also well tolerated by the skin. The adhesive border prevents the need of a secondary dressing. Due to its transparency, it is possible to monitor fluid strikethrouqh enabling the dressing change to be performed only when needed.
