Intrasite Gel

INTRASITE Gel

INTRASITE Gel is an amorphous hydrogel that gently rehydrates necrotic tissue, facilitating autolytic debridement, while being able to loosen and absorb slough and exudate. It can also be used to provide the optimal 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.

Key Features

• Partially hydrated hydrogel formulation
• Contains propylene glycol
• APPLIPAK^◊ container, available in a range of sizes

Benefits

The hydrated formulation allows the gel to donate moisture to drier environments and absorb in wetter environments, creating a moist wound management environment.  

• Debriding action
  Rehydrates necrotic tissue and, by its gentle yet effective action, aids debridement.  
• Desloughing action
  Absorbs slough and exudate without damaging fragile granulation tissue.  
• Creates a moist wound healing environment
  Increases moisture content at the wound surface, helping prevent eschar formation. By keeping fragile granulation tissue moist and allowing the migration of epithelializing cells, INTRASITE Gel helps to create an optimal moist wound management environment.  
• Gentle action
  Effective yet gentle action leaves delicate granulation tissue undisturbed helping to reduce trauma.  
• Non-adherent
  Is non-adherent so it is easily removed from the wound by irrigation with normal saline; without damaging fragile tissue or causing unnecessary pain for the patient. Extensive clinical support, suitable for use at all stages of the wound management process. INTRASITE Gel contains propylene glycol which acts as a humectant (moisturizer) that prevents the gel from drying out and improves handling.  
• Easy to use
  The unique Applipak system provides simple, directable and controlled application even in awkward wound sites.  
• Available in a range of sizes
  Range of sizes available for wound size – controlling and reducing wastage for cost-effective wound management.

Indications

• INTRASITE Gel is used to create a moist wound environment for the treatment of minor conditions such as minor burns, superficial lacerations, cuts and abrasions (partial thickness wounds) and skin tears.
• Under the direction of a healthcare professional, INTRASITE Gel is used to create a moist wound environment for the management of:
  Venous ulcers (leg ulcers)
  Surgical incisions
  Diabetic foot ulcers
  Pressure ulcers (including stage IV)
• Creates a moist wound environment, which assists in autolytic debridement of wounds covered with necrotic tissues.

Precautions

Known sensitivity to INTRASITE Gel or any of its ingredients. INTRASITE Gel should be used with care in the vicinity of the eyes and in deep wounds with narrow openings (e.g. fistulas) where removal of the gel may be difficult. INTRASITE Gel is for external use only and should not be taken internally. Looking for something a little different? Please see our full range of Dressings & Wound Care.
