PRECAUTIONS
-
The soft-adherent layer of UrgoStart® Plus Pad adheres to latex surgical gloves. Therefore it is recommended that the tabs be used to facilitate application of the dressing.
-
If the wound shows signs of local infection, it is recommended that anti-microbial treatment is used first before starting treatment with UrgoStart® Plus Pad.
-
If an atypical ulcer presents induration or over-granulation, treatment with UrgoStart® Plus Pad should only be initiated after verifying that ulcer deterioration is absent, to prevent any delay in diagnosis.
-
In the absence of clinical data regarding Epidermolysis Bullosa (even for longstanding lesions), the use of UrgoStart® Plus Pad is not recommended.
-
Stinging or even painful sensations may be reported at the start of the treatment. These are usually linked to the healing process and the need to suspend treatment is rare.
-
During desloughing, the wound may appear to get larger due to the gradual elimination of slough.
-
Concomitant use with a cream, an ointment, an emulsion is not recommended.
-
UrgoStart® Plus Pad must not be used in a hyperbaric chamber.

Sterile individual packaging, for single use only: re-using a disposable dressing can lead to the risks of infection.
