Smith & Nephew Intrasite Gel - Hydrogel Dressing 25gm Applipak
- INTRASITE Gel is an amorphous hydrogel which gently re-hydrates necrotic tissue, facilitating autolytic debridement, while being able to loosen and absorb slough and exudate.
- It can also be used to provide the optimum moist wound management environment during the later stages of wound closure.
- It is non-adherent and does not harm viable tissue or the skin surrounding the wound.
- This makes INTRASITE Gel ideal for every stage in the wound management process.
