What is Medline Skintegrity Hydrogel Dressing?
Medline Skintegrity Hydrogel Wound Dressing is a primary Wound Dressing that is ideal for low-exudate wounds. As a Hydrogel, Skintegrity gel creates a moist wound bed. This is because a moist wound environment has been shown to aid and speed up the body's natural healing process. This gel contains both glycerin and aloe to accomplish this task. Despite being a great moisturizer, Skintegrity is not greasy and is easily washed and irrigated away from the wound bed when bandage changes are necessary.
This wound filler works well in partial and full-thickness wounds, first and second degree burns, lacerations, leg ulcers, pressure injuries, surgical wounds, and more. Depending on the amount of wound exudate drainage, Medline Skintegrity Hydrogel Wound Dressing can stay in place for up to 3 days. This can mean fewer dressing changes, which can lead to more time for other procedures and patients. Fewer changes will also require less gel, which saves Skintegrity Hydrogel users money and resources. This wound dressing should never be used on wounds with heavy exudate drainage.
This product comes in both one-ounce bellows bottle and four-ounce tube options. The bellows bottle option makes targeted application easier, which may also ultimately reduce waste. The tube option, on the other hand, contains a larger amount of product, so repurchase is not necessary as often. Medline Skintegrity Hydrogel Wound Dressing should be used in tandem with a secondary wound dressing, such as this Eclypse Secondary Dressing.
