IntraSite* Gel is an amorphous hydrogel that promotes gentle but effective debridement and desloughing. IntraSite Gel has unique chemical characteristics unlike any other hydrogel.
Unique Formulation
The patented cross-linked polymer enables the gel to provide balanced rehydration and absorption. Based on the local environment IntraSite Gel responds appropriately to the level of moisture making it ideal for every stage in the wound healing process.
Unique cross linked molecular structure
The unique structure provides the ability to balance re-hydration and absorption as required.
Water is donated from the gel to the wound
Slough and exudates are absorbed from the wound into the gel
Cross linked stability
Cross linking holds the gel stable throughout treatment, avoiding leakage and drainage.
As slough and exudates are absorbed from the wound, the links expand their original state.
As water is donated, the links contract.
Versatile Presentations
IntraSite Gel comes in two forms, a gel filled Applipak* and an impregnated non-woven dressing for use in different clinical situations.
The gel is odourless and has a slightly opaque, colourless appearance.
The unique Applipak is a mushroom shaped device containing IntraSite Gel that is available in a range of different sizes. It provides directable and controlled application of the gel.
Combines the advantages of the gel with a non-woven dressing to aid the gentle packing of deep, shallow or open undermined wounds ensuring the gel remains in close contact with the entire wound surface.
IntraSite Gel is non adherent so is easily removed from the wound by irrigating with normal saline, without harming fragile tissue or causing unnecessary pain for the patient.
