Intrasite Conformable Hydrogel Dressing, 10cm x 10cm (7.5g Gel loading)
INTRASITE Conformable is a conformable hydrogel dressing which combines the advantages of INTRASITE Gel with a non-woven dressing to aid in the gentle packing of deep, open or undermined wounds. The non-woven substrate ensures the gel remains in close contact with the entire wound surface. It is suitable for use in necrotic, sloughy and granulating wounds, and helps create a moist wound environment to facilitate healing.

Benefits of Intrasite Conformable Dressing
Debriding and Desloughing Action
- INTRASITE Conformable contains INTRASITE Gel which has a gentle yet effective debriding and desloughing action. The gel rehydrates necrotic tissue and absorbs slough and wound exudate.
- Fluid handling properties reduce the frequency of dressing changes and increase cost effectiveness.
Moist-wound Healing
- INTRASITE Conformable helps to create and maintain a moist wound environment. The presence of INTRASITE Gel helps to prevents adherence to the wound surface, allowing easy dressing changes without damaging fragile new granulation tissue.
- INTRASITE Conformable is safe for use throughout the wound healing process.
Conformable
The non-woven dressing is both soft and conformable - conforming easily to awkward wound shapes and keeping the gel where it is needed (in contact with the wound surface).
Mode of action
INTRASITE Conformable promotes natural debridement through autolysis by gently rehydrating necrotic tissue. It also loosens and absorbs slough and exudate. INTRASITE Conformable provides a moist wound environment. It does not harm viable tissue or skin surrounding wounds. INTRASITE Conformable facilitates the gentle packing of cavity wounds to allow them to heal from the base, as well as aiding application of gel to awkward areas.
Indications
INTRASITE Conformable is indicated for use in open wounds e.g. pressure sores, surgical wounds healing by secondary intention and malignant wounds. It is especially useful for the packing of deep cavity wounds to prevent premature closure. It can be used on infected wounds under medical supervision.
Contraindications / Precautions
- Known sensitivity to INTRASITE Conformable or any of its ingredients.
- INTRASITE Conformable should be used with care in the vicinity of the eye.
- Avoid ingestion.
- Avoid use on cracked nipples.
Instructions for use
Where the product is used on infected wounds the infection should be treated as per local clinical protocol. For shallow wounds, apply at least two layers of the dressing. Ensure residual gel is removed prior to radiation therapy.
Note:
Ensure that all dressings are removed. It is recommended that the dressing is changed at least every three days.
