Indications
PureGel™ is a hydrogel designed for cleansing, occlusion, moistening, debriding, and effectively removing foreign materials, including microorganisms and debris, from exudating and/or dirty wounds. This advanced solution caters to acute and chronic dermal lesions, ranging from stage I-IV pressure ulcers, stasis ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and post-surgical wounds to first and second-degree burns, abrasions, and minor skin irritations.
PureGel also finds application in conditions such as diabetic foot ulcers, ingrown toenails, grafted and donor sites, and exit sites, providing comprehensive care. Its exceptional properties make it ideal for occluding wounds and lubricating absorbent wound dressings, ensuring optimal wound management.

Instructions for Use
For Wound Care
If necessary, debride the wound or cleanse using a wound cleanser like BIHOCL™ PureCleanse™. Apply a generous amount (approximately 1/4" to 1/2" thick) of PureGel™ to cover the entire wound bed, including areas of undermining. Apply a thin layer to the skin around the wound and allow it to dry. Proceed to cover with an appropriate wound dressing or covering, avoiding silver and other wound dressings containing heavy metals.
For General Skin Care
General skin care, cleanse the affected area with a suitable skin cleanser such as BIHOCL™ PureCleanse™. Once dry, apply a thin layer of PureGel™ and reapply as needed.
For Indwelling Vascular Catheters
Apply a sufficient quantity of PureGel™ to fully cover the skin area around the catheter. Then, cover with an appropriate site dressing.
For Ostomy Care
Apply a thin layer of PureGel™ to the peristomal area and allow it to dry before applying the ostomy appliance.
