GelTex Plus LipoGel NPWT Kits are intended to be used in conjunction with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy [NPWT) pump systems to deliver negative pressure to wounds. NPWT systems are indicated to promote wound healing, through means including drainage and removal of infectious material or other wound fluids.
GelTex Plus LipoGel NPWT Kits, when used in combination with IodoFoam, produce less tissue ingrowth into foam dressing, less tissue loss upon removal of foam, and less pain for patients during therapy. The foam dressing kits are provided in sizes identical to institutional standards and a large quantity of high quality transparent film is included. The quality and elegant design features a proprietary suction head and is considered best in class for ease of use.
When cut, the high quality black foam will not leave fibers in the wound. The GelTex Plus LipoGel NPWT Kit's transparent film comes in a simple to use 4 step application process that is easy to follow, so you provide the right wound coverage for negative pressure wound therapy. The ComforCap is unique because it is smaller, softer, and has a lower profile than other brands. The smaller cap size allows more flexibility in treating smaller chronic wounds, and its softness and low profile allow for patient comfort and less chance of hitting the cap and causing further harm to the wound. The ComforCap is secured to the transparent film by a 3m adhesive disk that holds strong the moment is applied and gets stronger during the negative pressure wound therapy application.
Each kit includes black foam, transparent dressing, tubing with suction head, a disk, a bottle of LipoGel, and instructions.
LipoGel
Biofilms cause up to 80% of infections and are difficult to treat due to their substantial multidrug resistance compared to their planktonic counterparts. LipoGel has demonstrated biofilm inhibition through US government testing (Dowd SE et al. Effects of Biofilm Treatments in Multi-Species Biofilm Models.
Journal of Wound Care 18 (12): 2009).
LipoGel provides a great defensive strategy to inhibit biofilm reconstitution and maturation, preferably post debridement. The nanotechnology gel forms a lipid membrane of protection over the wound bed and remains permeable. The proprietary wound dressing formulation has properties unique among hydrogels. It is an excellent anti-adherant primary dressing that maintains a moist wound environment without maceration and will not dilute with exudate. The gel firms, rather than disperses, with exudate to limit migration into secondary dressing. LipoGel is cost effective and Medicare reimbursable. It can be used in combination with other dressings including IodoFoam and GelTex.
LipoGel is not a biocide or antibiotic. The formulation is non-toxic to host cells and is appropriate for routine use on all chronic wounds.
Indications:
Use for skin ulcers, burns, cuts, and other skin irritations.
Warning:
If condition worsens or does not improve within 10-14 days, consult physician.
Directions for Use:
1. Cleanse wound as directed by your physician.
2. Apply LipoGel directly to the wound, or alternatively, apply to the contact surface of any sterile dressing being applied. Gel should be about 1/8" thick at wound surface.
3. Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing and secure. Re-dress wound as necessary or as directed by your physician. Use or store at room temperature. Product may thicken at temperatures colder than 20 degrees C.
