Southwest Elasto-Gel Sterile Wound Dressing without Tape

More Information

• Indication:
  - Elasto-Gel hydrogel dressings are indicated as an external use dressing for local management of pressure ulcers (stage I-IV), diabetic related ulcers and wounds, surgical wounds, skin tears and 1st and 2nd degree burn.
  - It may be used in the management of scars, as a cast and splint pad and for minor pressure relief
• Pharmacology:
  - Elasto-Gel utilizes a high concentration of glycerine (65%) as a water soluble humectant in a mixture of water and polymer matrix
  - It is presented as a hydrogel because of its ability to absorb large quantities of aqueous fluids thereby controlling moisture at the wound site
  - Its protective and cushioning properties are far superior to other hydrogels and hydrocolloids
  - Due to its high percentage of glycerine it exhibits additional desirable properties such as bacteriostatic action which is absent in other hydrogel dressings
  - Elasto-Gel provides protection from shock and friction and provides pressure relief
  - It will nearly eliminate odor within 48 to 72 hours after application to highly contaminated or chronic wounds
  - It is highly effective for reducing pain
• Directions For Use:
  - Select the appropriate size dressing
  - Prepare the wound site by cleaning as needed and remove the dressing from the package
  - The dressing should extend 2.5cm to 5cm or 25% beyond the wound opening
  - The dressing may be cut to the proper size with scissors
  - Leave the clear plastic film on gel while cutting the dressing
  - Remove the clear plastic film and apply the exposed gel directly on the wound
  - DO NOT remove the white fabric backing
  - Secure the dressing in place with: tape, elastic wrap, gauze wrap, stretch netting, etc
  - Check the wound as needed
  - The dressing may remain on the wound if it is not saturated with exudate
  - Change the dressing when it is saturated with exudate
  Caution:
  - The dressing must be protected from water or moisture
  - Consult a physician if signs of infection occur: fever, swelling, pain, etc

   Good for everyday use

   I use two of these at a time under compression stockings to cover scars from surgeries. They keep your skin from getting dry and offer some protection from getting bumped.

   Quality wound care products

   This is an awesome product. It keeps the wound moist and seems to speed up healing. It also stays pretty well on the wound to allow for fluffs, pads and tape to be applied. We did twice daily dressing changes, and after a few days, my husband started getting a rash under the elastogel. I don't know if it was the elastogel or antiboitic cream, so I discontinued both. My husband's skin is abnormally reactive to lotions, adhesives, etc., so I can't faluth the ptoduct.
