Kemagel amorphous sterile healing gel 75gm

Kemagel® hydro-active colloid formulation is an amorphous hydrogel which gently re-hydrates necrotic tissue, facilitating autolytic debridement, while being able to loosen and absorb slough and exudate. It can also be used to provide the optimum moist wound management environment during the later stages of wound closure.

Intended Use

Kemagel is used to create a moist wound environment for the treatment of minor conditions such as minor burns, superficial lacerations, cuts and abrasions/partial thickness wounds and skin tears.

Kemagel under the direction of a healthcare professional, is used to create a moist wound environment for the management of:

• Venous ulcers (leg ulcers)
• Surgical incisions
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Pressure ulcers (including stage IV)

Kemagel creates a moist wound environment which assists in autolytic debridement of wounds covered with necrotic tissues.

Instructions for Use

• Wash hands before and after treating the wound.
• For minor wounds (e.g. grazes, cuts) and superficial burns.
• Carefully apply the gel to the wound (without rubbing) once or twice per day.
• If necessary, cover the wound with a sterile plaster or dressing and change daily.
• For open wounds (e.g. ulcers):
• Irrigate wound with sterile saline solution to clean wound site.
• Keep the nozzle tip clear of the wound surface, gently press the tube to dispense gel into the wound. Smooth the gel over surface of wound to a depth of approximately 5 mm.
• Discard any unused gel.
• Cover with a secondary dressing of choice e.g. Protectfilm™.
• Kemagel® can be removed from the wound by rinsing with sterile saline solution. On necrotic and sloughy wounds, it is recommended that the dressing is changed at least every three days. On clean granulating wounds, the frequency of dressing changes depends on the clinical condition of the wound and the amount of exudate produced.
