Product Information

Full details

Intrasite Gel is an essential tool for healthcare professionals and patients managing complex wounds, designed to promote effective healing through a controlled, moist environment. It is ideal for those dealing with necrotic, sloughy, or granulating wounds, providing a gentle rehydration process that facilitates autolytic debridement. While it is highly effective at managing exudate, users should note that it requires an appropriate secondary dressing to be secured in place, making it unsuitable for use on its own without proper coverage.

FAQs

Can I use Intrasite Gel on infected wounds?

Intrasite Gel can be used on infected wounds as part of a management regimen prescribed by a clinician, but it should be accompanied by appropriate systemic or topical antimicrobial therapy.

How often should I change the dressing?

The frequency depends on the condition of the wound and the amount of exudate. Typically, it is changed when the secondary dressing becomes saturated.

Is this product sterile?

Yes, Intrasite Gel is supplied in a sterile, single-use Applipak.

Can it be used on deep cavity wounds?

Yes, its amorphous nature makes it excellent for filling and maintaining moisture in deep or irregular cavity wounds.

What is the shelf life?

Check the expiration date printed on the individual packaging; do not use if the seal is broken or the date has passed.

Troubleshooting

Gel is drying out too quickly

Ensure that a high-quality, occlusive secondary dressing is being used to seal the wound area.

Wound edges look macerated

Apply a skin barrier cream to the peri-wound skin or reduce the amount of gel applied to the surrounding healthy tissue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Clean the wound site thoroughly with sterile saline or a standard wound cleanser.
Application: Remove the cap from the Applipak. Apply the gel directly to the wound surface by gently squeezing the container until a thin, consistent layer covers the affected area.
Coverage: Select an appropriate secondary dressing—such as a film or absorbent pad—to keep the gel in place and prevent it from drying out.
Storage: Keep the unused Applipak units in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure each unit is only used once; do not attempt to store an opened applicator for later use due to contamination risks.
