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.

  • Wound cleansing effect
  • Effective moisture balance 
  • Adapts to wound bed 

Intended Purpose

Indications: Cutimed® Gel produces a physiological moist wound healing environment that aids the promotion of autolytic debridement. Inditicated for presure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers, and venous ulcers, and to rehydrate dry wounds.

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.
