Sofargen Gel Dressing Tube 25 G

Description
Water-based topical dressing containing 1% Silver Sulfadiazine. The product stays easily "in situ" and is not affected by the stretching of the wound edges. It can be easily removed by cleaning the lesion with physiological saline solution.
Local treatment of skin lesions such as: abrasions, excoriations, cuts, wounds, skin irritations and dermatological conditions in general. It can be used as a moisturizer to keep the wound bed moist and prevent infections or as a cleansing agent to remove non-viable fragments and fibrin accumulation.
The gel, with its high water content (over 95%), promotes the debridement of fibrinous and necrotic lesions, facilitates the tissue repair process, and creates a barrier against external contaminants, thanks to the presence of silver. The presence of silver sulfadiazine, an organometallic compound obtained by the reaction of silver nitrate with sulfadiazine, prevents microbial contamination of the dressing and keeps the wound environment free from other exogenous bacteria. The particular gel formulation creates an environment that facilitates the natural healing process and provides an effective barrier against microbial penetration.

Instructions for use
After appropriate cleansing of the lesion, apply a uniform layer of gel 2 or 3 mm thick to the affected surfaces. The gel can be applied directly to the lesions, or spread beforehand on a sterile gauze to achieve the moisturizing effect, or on a polyurethane or semi-occlusive dressing as a cleansing agent. Gel application should continue without interruption once or twice a day, as long as there is a possibility of infection and until complete healing, both for spontaneous and surgical repairs. With each new application, carefully cleanse the lesions with water or physiological saline solution.

Components
Purified water, glycerol, carbopol 974P, sodium hydroxide, micronized silver sulfadiazine.
