Amerigel Hydrogel Wound Dressing

How to apply Amerigel Hydrogel Dressing?

The following are general guidelines and recommendations and do not take the place of proper medical care by a qualified provider.

Remove the Previous Dressing

• Carefully remove the dressing/gauze that is covering the wound. If the gauze sticks to the wound, wet the dressing with Amerigel Wound Wash and try removing it again in 10 or 15 minutes. This will help soften the area that is stuck to the gauze and prevent the removal of the healthy tissue from the wound bed.

Cleansing the Wound

• Place enough 2x2 or 4x4 gauze(s) to cover the entire wound bed and saturate it with Wound Wash. Pick up the gauze with fingers or tweezers and dab the wound for 1-2 minutes. Discard the gauze and then squirt the Wound Wash directly into the wound bed to rinse out any loose matter. Blot the wound dry with a clean piece of gauze. The wound is now cleansed and ready for application of AmeriGel Hydrogel Wound Dressing.

Applying Amerigel Hydrogel Wound Dressing

• After the wound has been cleansed, apply a thin coat of AmeriGel Hydrogel Wound Dressing to the wound and surrounding skin, about one-half inch beyond the wound.

Dressing the Wound

• Moisten a gauze (2x2, 4x4, etc.) with Amerigel Wound Wash. It should be similar in dampness to a washcloth that user would wash the face with, not dripping wet, but not wrung dry. Place this dampened gauze over the wound that has just been coated with AmeriGel Hydrogel Wound Dressing. Next, place a dry piece of gauze on top of the damp one. This will help provide a moist environment for the wound and additional gauze to absorb any drainage. Secure into place with tape or roll gauze.
