Enriched with OakinTM and classified by the FDA as a hydrogel wound filler, AmeriGel® Wound Dressing was designed to provide a moist wound environment, prevent infections and clean wounds of unwanted debris, all of which, if not addressed, can slow the body's natural healing process.
Providing a Moist Wound Environment
Numerous research studies prove a moist wound environment is best for wounds to heal, much like the environment in your mouth. Most often the body will produce this moisture naturally, but in some instances your body will need help. AmeriGel® Wound Dressing's hydrogel formulation helps supply the moisture needed to assist the body in healing wounds. In addition, a moist wound environment will help reduce the appearance of scars by preventing the formation of a scab.
Prevent Infections
Infections are one of the leading causes of non-healing wounds today. If a wound is infected and not treated, the wound will remain open and potentially allow the infection to spread throughout the body. The OakinTM in AmeriGel® Wound Dressing provides the antimicrobial properties to fight off and kill the most common infections found in wounds today. In fact, OakinTM is proven to combat over 49 different bacteria, the leading cause of skin infections.
Removing Harmful Debris
Another leading cause of non-healing wounds is the collection of debris in the wound bed. Debris left in the wound can slow the healing process and even prevent wounds from closing. AmeriGel® Wound Dressing has a debriding agent to help remove unwanted particles or old non-healthy tissue, which is no longer essential to the wound healing process. Uniquely, AmeriGel® Wound Dressing will not harm any new healthy tissue; instead, it will assist in providing an environment to promote new tissue growth.
Post-Op Toenail Removal Dressing Changes
DRESSING SHOULD BE CHANGED ONCE DAILY FOLLOWING BATHING.
Step 1: After showering or bathing, blot the surgical site (nail bed) dry and apply a liberal amount of AmeriGel® Wound Dressing. Stinging may occur and is normal.
Step 2: Cut a suitable size piece of gauze to fit directly over the entire surgical area.
Step 3: Secure gauze in place with a band-aid. IMPORTANT: The band-aid should be applied around the toe resembling a ring. When dressing a toe, apply band-aid loosely.
Doctor Comments:
Amerigel® is great for treatment of post-op toenail avulsions (toenail removal). There is no need for twice a day soaks, and the wound typically heals faster. This product also greatly reduces the risk of infection.
