Desloughing action:

Gentle action:
- Effective yet gentle action leaves delicate granulation tissue undisturbed helping to reduce trauma
Non-adherent:
- Easily removed from the wound by irrigation with normal saline; without damaging fragile tissue or causing unnecessary pain for the patient

Frequency of Dressing Change

On necrotic and sloughy wounds, it is recommended that the dressing is changed at least every three days.
On clean granulating wounds, the frequency of dressing changes depends on the clinical condition of the wound and the amount of exudate produced.
If applied to a necrotic wound, daily changes are required to optimise rehydration of the wound, unless occluded with a hydrocolloid.
If exudate leakage occurs through the secondary dressing, this indicates the dressing should be changed.

Known sensitivity to Intrasite Gel or any of its ingredients.
It 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.
It is for external use only and should not be taken internally
