How it works: a single step approach
UCS delivers three key actions in one step:
- Debride: unique loop technology lifts and traps non-viable tissue, slough and debris. Supports gentle, low pain removal of the barriers to healing
- Cleanse: a surfactant-based solution with poloxamer 188 helps remove bioburden and biofilm, supporting a cleaner wound environment
- Hydrate: skin-friendly ingredients including allantoin and aloe vera, softens dry tissue, improves skin condition and maintains moisture balance
How to use:
The combination of the cloth and solution is all that is required. No water or saline needs to be added. Allow the solution to dry on the skin, do not towel dry or wash off.
- Open sachet to access the pre-moistened UCS cloth or glove
- Use this to clean the wound with a gentle polishing motion
- Once the wound has been cleaned, the other side of the UCS cloth can be used to clean the surrounding skin
UCS Debridement Cloth or Glove?
UCS debridement is available as either a cloth or glove, offering flexibility depending on wound size, wound location and exudate level.
