Urgotul Duo Wound Dressings

UrgoTul Duo is a sterile, non-adherent wound contact dressing with a light absorbent pad, designed for the management of non-exuding to lightly exuding acute and chronic wounds.

It combines Urgo Medical's Technology Lipido-Colloid (TLC) wound-contact layer with a soft absorbent backing. The TLC layer consists of a polyester mesh impregnated with hydrocolloid and petroleum-jelly particles, helping maintain a moist wound environment and minimise adherence to the wound bed.

The absorbent layer provides additional protection and manages low levels of wound exudate.

How UrgoTul Duo works:

UrgoTul Duo combines two wound-care components:

TLC wound-contact layer

The wound-contact surface consists of a polyester mesh impregnated with hydrocolloid and petroleum-jelly particles.

When the dressing comes into contact with wound exudate, the TLC matrix forms a moist interface with the wound.

This helps:

• Maintain a moist wound environment
• Minimise adherence to the wound bed
• Protect granulation and epithelialising tissue
• Support gentle dressing removal

Light absorbent pad

A soft absorbent layer is incorporated into the dressing.

This helps:

• Absorb low levels of exudate
• Protect the wound
• Reduce moisture accumulation around the wound margins
• Provide additional cushioning

Unlike a simple UrgoTul contact layer, UrgoTul Duo therefore provides both wound contact and light absorption in one dressing.

Suitable wound types include:

UrgoTul Duo is intended for non-exuding to lightly exuding wounds, including:

• Skin tears
• Dermabrasions
• Traumatic wounds
• Post-operative / surgical wounds
• Superficial wounds
• Other appropriate acute wounds
• Lightly exuding chronic wounds

It may also be useful on difficult-to-dress areas such as:

• Fingers
• Toes
• Hands
• Other irregular anatomical contours

The dressing should be selected according to the wound type, condition and level of exudate.

How to use:

UrgoTul Duo should be applied according to the manufacturer's instructions and the patient's wound-management plan.

1. Wash or disinfect hands and use appropriate clinical gloves.
2. Clean the wound according to the usual wound-care protocol.
3. If an antiseptic has been used, rinse the wound appropriately before applying the dressing.
4. Carefully dry the surrounding skin.
5. Select an appropriate dressing size.
6. Remove the protective films.
7. Apply the TLC wound-contact side directly to the wound.
8. Ensure the dressing lies flat and makes appropriate contact with the wound surface.
9. Secure with a suitable:
   • Retention bandage
   • Conforming bandage
   • Medical tape
   • Other appropriate fixation system

UrgoTul Duo is not an adhesive bordered dressing, so separate fixation is normally required.

Dressing changes:

The dressing-change frequency should be determined according to:

• Wound condition
• Exudate level
• Condition of the surrounding skin
• Clinical progress

UrgoTul Duo may remain in place for up to 7 days where clinically appropriate.

Change sooner if:

• The absorbent layer becomes saturated
• Exudate leaks from the dressing
• The dressing becomes displaced
• The wound requires reassessment
• Signs of infection or deterioration develop

More frequent changes may be required during the early stages of wound treatment.

Removal:

UrgoTul Duo is designed to minimise adherence to the wound.

To remove:

1. Remove the fixation dressing or bandage.
2. Gently lift UrgoTul Duo from the wound.
3. If any area has adhered because of dried exudate, moisten it with sterile saline before removal.
4. Reassess and cleanse the wound as clinically appropriate.

Important information:

UrgoTul Duo is intended for wounds producing no or low levels of exudate.

It is not designed as the primary absorbent dressing for:

• Moderately exuding wounds
• Heavily exuding wounds

A more absorbent dressing should be selected where greater exudate management is required.

Infection:

UrgoTul Duo is not an antimicrobial dressing.

If a wound is infected or infection is suspected, it should be assessed and treated appropriately.

Signs requiring clinical assessment may include:

• Increasing redness
• Swelling
• Increasing pain
• Heat
• Purulent discharge
• Offensive odour
• Fever
• Rapid wound deterioration

UrgoTul Duo does not replace appropriate antimicrobial or systemic treatment where this is required.

Important precautions:

Do not use:

• In patients with a known hypersensitivity to any component of the dressing
• If the sterile packaging is damaged or previously opened
• Beyond the stated expiry date

Do not:

• Reuse
• Re-sterilise
• Share a dressing between patients
