Vitále Hydrogel Impregnated Dressings feature a soft gel impregnated into an absorbent dressing designed for direct wound contact. Hydrogel provides a moist wound environment which supports the body’s healing process & promotes autolytic debridement (removal of necrotic material from the wound) without damaging new tissue. The cotton dressing that holds the hydrogel allows removal of the entire dressing intact at dressing change time.

Vitále Hydrogel Dressings are a primary dressing, and are most often used on wounds that are dry to moderate drainage. They should be covered with an occlusive or semi-occlusive secondary dressing that will maintain the moisture in the dressing & wound. Vitále Hydrogel Impregnated Dressings are sterilized by irradiation and must not be re-sterilized; the products are sterile unless the package is opened or damaged. Vitále Hydrogel Dressings are for single use only

Features & Benefits

• Promotes Moist Healing Environment: The hydrogel maintains a moist wound environment, which is essential for optimal healing and autolytic debridement.
• Easy Removal: The cotton dressing allows for the intact removal of the dressing during changes, minimizing trauma to the wound bed.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for a variety of wounds, including pressure sores, arterial ulcers, venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, post-operative wounds, and wounds requiring autolysis.
• Sterile and Safe: Sterilized by irradiation, ensuring a sterile product ready for immediate use. Each dressing is packaged in a single-use, sterile packet.
• Comfortable and Flexible: Soft and flexible design ensures comfort for the patient and conforms to the wound's contours, providing effective coverage and protection.

How To Apply

1. Clean the wound carefully per existing clinical protocol. The skin surrounding the wound should be clean and dry.
2. Select a dressing that fits into the wound. If necessary, fold to adjust to wound size. Do not extend the dressing over the peri-wound tissue, to prevent maceration.
3. Carefully remove the dressing from the sterile package, applying the center of the dressing to the center of the wound, using clean technique. Press gently, forming the dressing into the contours of the wound.
4. Apply an occlusive or semi-occlusive secondary dressing.
5. Change daily, or more often, as needed. Change when the dressing is dry to keep a moist dressing in place. Change if leakage of exudate occurs through the secondary dressing.
6. If Vitále Hydrogel Dressings are used in the presence of necrotic tissue, the wound may appear to increase in size and depth during autolysis. This is a normal consequence of occlusive treatment. If the wound continues to get larger after the first few dressing changes, consult a healthcare professional.
7. Rinse before wound assessment and applying a new dressing.
