Urgotul Medical 1s

Urgotul Medical 1s is a lipidocolloid wound contact-layer dressing from Laboratoires Urgo, supplied as one dressing per pack. It uses the same TLC lipidocolloid matrix technology found across the Urgotul range — a fine mesh impregnated with a petrolatum-gel-based lipidocolloid substance — but, unlike Urgotul AG, it contains no added silver or other active component. As a contact layer rather than a full absorbent dressing, it is designed to be placed directly on the wound bed and then covered with a separate secondary absorbent dressing to manage wound fluid and hold it in position.

Urgotul Medical is available for purchase without a prescription and, because it does not contain an antimicrobial component, is generally considered suitable for a broader range of wound types than the silver version, including wounds that are not considered to be at particular risk of infection. It is nonetheless commonly selected by a nurse or wound-care professional as part of an overall dressing regimen, since the appropriate secondary dressing and change frequency depend on an assessment of the wound.

The lipidocolloid TLC matrix is a soft, non-adherent mesh made from a petrolatum-gel-based substance that coats the mesh fibres. This coating prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound bed or to newly formed tissue, which allows it to be removed without disturbing the wound during dressing changes. Because Urgotul Medical carries no active pharmaceutical or antimicrobial ingredient, its role is purely as a non-adherent interface between the wound and the secondary absorbent dressing placed over it.

Wash and dry your hands before opening the pack. Clean the wound as directed by your healthcare provider. Remove Urgotul Medical from its pouch without touching the wound-contact side, and lay it directly over the wound bed so the mesh extends slightly beyond the wound margins. Cover with a secondary absorbent dressing — such as a foam pad, gauze pad, or another dressing recommended by your healthcare provider — to manage wound fluid and hold Urgotul Medical in place. Change the combination according to the interval advised for your wound. When removing, lift the secondary dressing first, then gently lift Urgotul Medical from one edge rather than pulling it off in one motion.

Not applicable — Urgotul Medical is a medical device dressing, not a medicine, and does not have a dose.

Shelf life can vary by manufacturing batch. Always check the expiry date printed on the individual pouch and the outer carton before use.

Store at room temperature in the original sealed pouch, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat or moisture.

• Common: Local irritation, stinging, or itching at the dressing site.
• Common: Temporary softening (maceration) of surrounding skin if the secondary dressing is not changed as often as the wound’s fluid output requires.
• Serious: Signs of an allergic contact reaction, such as spreading redness, swelling, or blistering beyond the dressing area, which should be assessed by a healthcare professional.

• Known hypersensitivity or allergy to the lipidocolloid matrix or any dressing component.
• Not for use on wounds where a healthcare professional has advised against a non-adherent contact layer of this type.

• Not applicable — Urgotul Medical is a topical wound dressing and is not known to interact with medicines or food.

• Check the expiry date on the pouch before opening it.
• Avoid touching the wound-contact surface of the dressing while applying it.
• Always use a secondary absorbent dressing over Urgotul Medical as advised by your healthcare provider.
• Lift the secondary dressing first before removing Urgotul Medical when changing the dressing.
• Keep a suitable supply of secondary dressings on hand so the change schedule is not disrupted.
• Note the date of each dressing change if the wound is being followed up by a healthcare provider.

Precautions: Urgotul Medical is generally used as part of an overall dressing plan alongside a secondary absorbent dressing chosen by a healthcare provider; the choice of secondary dressing and change frequency should follow that guidance where the wound is being professionally managed. It has not been established as suitable for infants or young children without professional guidance.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Seek advice if the wound becomes increasingly red, swollen, warm, or painful, if discharge increases or develops an odour, if you develop a fever, or if the wound shows no change over the period recommended by your healthcare provider.
