Package contents
The package contains 5 gel tubes of 8 g each.
Purpose of the product
For the treatment of dry wounds without exudate, as well as WOUNDS with weak exudate and partial loss of tissue thickness. It can be used to soften and moisturize necrotic tissues.

bedsores,
venous ulcers of the legs,
ulcers on the diabetic foot,

dermatitis resulting from urinary incontinence.
Product Features
The medical device, due to its properties, holds the wound in a moist environment and thus contributes to the healing process. Hydrosorb gel moisturizes dry necrotic tissue, facilitates the detachment of its dead part and absorbs scabs and secretions from poorly seeping wounds.
The method of application of the medical device
The wound should be rinsed with a sterile Ringer solution or other sterile solution suitable for this purpose. After that, the skin around the wound should be thoroughly dried.
Remove the sterile syringe from the blister pack and remove the protective cap.
Holding the tip of the syringe at some distance from the wound, cover the wound with about a 5 mm layer of gel.
Apply an appropriate secondary dressing to the wound.
Product Usage
To remove the Hydrosorb gel, rinse the wound with Ringer's solution or another sterile solution suitable for this purpose.
The frequency of changing the dressing depends on the condition of the wound.
The hydrosorb can remain on the wound for a maximum of 3 days. The hydrosorb should be changed if the secondary dressing is absorbed by secretions from the wound.
