Elasto-Gel Plus is our occlusive hydrogel sheet dressing with Sta-Fix tape included in the dressing pouch. The tape is included for added convenience when a water resistant tape is required to attach the dressing to the wound site. The Sta-Fix tape is a non-woven, polyester base tape with an open structure and coated with adhesive by a special process to produce a highly porous, breathable tape. The use of Sta-Fix tape allows the
Elasto-Gel Plus dressing to be adhered to difficult and complex contours.
Indication
Elasto-Gel Plus hydrogel dressing are indicated as an external use dressing for local management of pressure ulcers (stage I-IV), diabetic ulcers and wounds, surgical wounds, skin tears and 1st and 2nd degree burns.
Elasto-Gel Plus may be used in the management of scars, as a cast and splint pad and for minor pressure relief.
Pharmacology
Elasto-Gel Plus utilizes a high concentration of glycerine (65%) as a water soluble humectant in a mixture of water and polymer matrix.
Elasto-Gel is presented as a hydrogel because of its ability to absorb large quantities of
aqueous fluids, thereby controlling moisture at the wound site. Its protective and cushioning properties are far superior to other hydrogels and hydrocolloids. Due to its high percentage of glycerine, it exhibits additional desirable properties such as bacteriostatic action which is absent in other hydrogel dressings.
