Polyurethane wound dressing Pharmagel Comfort

non-adherentsterilebreathable

Overview
Pharmagel Comfort is a sterile transparent polyurethane gel wound dressing with approximately 60% water content and a hypoallergenic polyurethane adhesive border designed to reduce bacterial penetration. It maintains a moist wound environment while absorbing and locking exudate to support granulation and epithelialization.

Features

• Creates and maintains a moist environment suitable for chronic wounds and for promoting wound healing; provides a slight cooling effect for patient comfort.
• Non-adherent to the wound bed and provides cushioning protection.
• Permeable to gases and water vapour while protecting periwound skin from maceration.
• Leaves no residue on the wound on removal.
• Transparent design allows regular visual monitoring without removing the dressing.
• Does not dissolve when absorbing exudate.
• Individually packed in moisture-proof pouches; sterilized by radiation.

Indications

• Chronic and slow-healing wounds in the granulation and epithelialisation phases.
• Debridement support and management of superficial (second-degree) burns due to its three-dimensional structure and high water content.

Contraindications

• Do not use on clinically infected wounds or third-degree burns.
• Not indicated for heavily exuding wounds or wounds with exposed muscle, bone or tendon.

Precautions

• Do not use in patients with known sensitivity to propylene glycol.
• Discontinue and seek medical advice if local reddening or allergic reaction occurs.
• Dispose of used dressings as contaminated clinical waste.

How to Use

• Cleansing: Clean the wound according to local protocols and rinse with saline; gently dry surrounding skin.
• Cutting: Standard Pharmagel products can be cut to fit the wound shape. Note: Pharmagel Comfort must not be cut before use.
• Selection: Choose a dressing slightly larger than the wound area.
• Application: Remove protective liner and apply the gel dressing in intimate contact with the wound base, ensuring full coverage.
• Fixation: For standard Pharmagel use a secondary retention dressing. For Pharmagel Comfort, press the adhesive edges to secure and remove the outer support layer.
• Removal: Gently lift the dressing using tweezers, forceps or a gloved hand; it comes away without leaving residue.

Frequency of Change

• May be left in place up to 7 days depending on exudate level and clinical assessment.
