Promogran Dressing

PROMOGRAN™ Dressing is an advanced wound care device comprised of a sterile, freeze dried composite of 45% oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) and 55% collagen. In the presence of exudate the PROMOGRAN™ Dressing transforms into a soft, conformable, biodegradable gel, and thus allows contact with all areas of the wound. PROMOGRAN™ Dressing maintains a physiologically moist microenvironment at the wound surface. This environment is conducive to granulation tissue formation, epithelialization and rapid wound healing. PROMOGRAN™ Dressing is a primary dressing that can be cut to fit wound with sterile scissors and used in combination with either a semi-occlusive or non-occlusive secondary dressing. Prior to application in dry wounds saline solution should be used to hydrate PROMOGRAN™ Dressing.

Wound Bed Preparation Prepare wound bed per your standard wound care protocol and debride when necessary. Wound bed should be clear of any visual signs of infection. Application •For optimal effect, apply PROMOGRAN™ Dressing directly to the whole wound bed. •For a wound with low or no exudate apply PROMOGRAN™ Dressing and hydrate with saline solution. This will initiate the transformation of the PROMOGRAN™ Dressing into a gel matrix. •After hydration, through exposure to wound exudate or saline, the PROMOGRAN™ gel matrix will intimately come into contact with the wound surface. •The biodegradable PROMOGRAN™ gel matrix is naturally absorbed into the body over time. •In order to maintain a moist wound healing environment PROMOGRAN™ Dressing must be covered with a semi-occlusive dressing (e.g. BIOCLUSIVE™ Transparent Dressing, TIELLE™ Hydropolymer Dressing or TIELLE™ Plus Hydropolymer Dressing) or a non-occlusive secondary dressing (e.g. NU GAUZE™ General-Use Sponge or SURGIPAD™ Combined Dressing) and fixed to the skin with a nonirritating tape (e.g. DERMICEL™ Hypo-Allergenic Cloth Tape). •After initial application, reapply PROMOGRAN™ Dressing to the wound up to every 72 hours depending upon the amount of exudate. It is not necessary to remove any residual PROMOGRAN™ Dressing during dressing changes.
