Description
Smith & Nephew Solosite Wound Gel
An amorphous hydrogel creates a moist wound environment and is non-cytotoxic. The polymer used is water swellable allowing it to absorb exudate yet remain gel-like until saturated. This allows to remain on the wound longer than gels using water-miscible polymers.
Smith & Nephew Solosite Wound Gel is a sterile, preservative-free hydrogel specifically designed for wound care management. This versatile product is formulated to provide a moist wound environment, which is crucial for optimal healing.
Solosite Wound Gel is suitable for a variety of wounds, including pressure ulcers, burns, and surgical incisions, as well as diabetic foot ulcers. By maintaining a moist environment, it aids in autolytic debridement, enhancing the natural wound healing process.
This wound gel is easy to apply and stays in place, ensuring that the wound remains adequately hydrated without the risk of maceration. It is gentle on the skin, making it an excellent option for patients with sensitive skin or those prone to allergies. The gel can be used in combination with secondary dressings, providing flexibility in treatment plans.
Smith & Nephew is a trusted name in wound care, and Solosite Wound Gel is a testament to their commitment to high-quality, effective wound management solutions. Whether used in hospitals, clinics, or at home, this wound gel is an essential part of any wound care regimen.

4. Reapplication:
