The UrgoTul Family range of dressings are for patients whose skin needs that extra TLC.
UrgoTul is a non-occlusive flexible and conformable dressing comprising of a polyester mesh impregnated with Technology Lipido-Colloid (TLC) healing matrix.
In contact with wound exudates, the hydrocolloid particles gel and interact with the petrolatum component of UrgoTul to form a lipido-colloid gel in contact with the wound, providing and maintaining a moist environment that promotes the healing process.UrgoTul has pro-healing efficacy, stimulating the proliferation of fibroblasts enabling the key cells for healing.
The Technology Lipido-Colloid (TLC) healing matrix:
- Provides and maintains a moist environment to support wound healing
- Enables key cells for healing
- Ensures harm-free care for patients
The benefits of TLC
