The new TLC-Contact matrix of UrgoCell® START Contact represents an advance in TLC technology due to the addition of functional polymers. When in contact with the wound and as a result of their physicochemical properties, these polymers interact with the living cells in their environment and promote the multiplication of dermal fibroblasts(1)(2).
The TLC-Contact technology of this layer makes it easier to handle the dressing during wound care and ensures that removal is atraumatic.

  •  Pain-free dressing changes
  •  Promotes faster healing and improves patients\' quality of life
  •  Stimulation of fibroblasts
  •  Inhibits excess Matrix MetalloProteases (MMPs)
  •  Moist Wound healing
  •  Re-establishes wound equilibrium

 

Description and physical characteristics

UrgoCell® START Contact is a Soft-Adherent foam dressing with TLC-Contact-NOSF Technology, an innovation from Urgo Laboratories. This new dressing is composed of:

 

Functional characteristics

The composition of UrgoCell® START Contact dressing gives its healing properties. The TLC-Contact-NOSF Technology forms a lipido-colloid gel in contact with the wound, creating and maintaining a moist environment that is essential for the healing process and at the same time limiting any adherence of the dressing to the wound and ensuring pain-free and atraumatic removal of the dressings.

The underlying foam pad ensures continuous exudate absorption.
