How Does NU-GEL® Hydrogel Work
- NU-GEL® Hydrogel gently and effectively provides rehydration of the wound for autolytic debridement, significantly decreasing the amount of necrotic tissue and slough2
- The alginate increases the absorptive capacity of NU-GEL® Hydrogel and improves the ability to control wound exudate1 for longer wear time1
- NU-GEL® can be applied to the wound with a simple one-handed technique
