Cutimed^® Gel

is a sterile hydrogel that adapts to wound bed. Cutimed Gel maintains a moist wound environment that supports the body’s own wound healing. By releasing moisture, it softens necroses and wound coating and facilitates effective tissue-conserving debridement. It is suitable for each wound healing stage and allows easy application and removal.

Intended Purpose

Indications: Cutimed Gel produces a moist, physiological wound environment and supports autolytic cleansing of necrotic or unclean wounds (e.g. lightly weeping ulcus cruris, diabetic foot syndrome, decubital ulcers or first and second-degree burns).

Wear time: Cutimed Gel should be changed as often as clinically indicated, the secondary dressing should not be fully saturated. Cutimed Gel can remain on the wound for the period between dressing changes.
