Cavidagel
Sterile Wound Filler Hydrogel with Alginate

Description:
®
Cavidagel is clear amorphous hydrogel with alginate which gently re-hydrates necrotic tissue, facilitating autolytic debride-
ment, while being able to loosen and absorb slough and exudate. It can also be used to provide the optimum moist wound
management environment during the later stages of wound closure.

Features:
• Debriding action:
®
Cavidagel rehydrates necrotic tissue and aids debridement.
• Desloughing action:
®
Cavidagel absorbs slough and exudate without damaging fragile granulation tissue.
• Creates moist wound healing environment:
®
Cavidagel helps to create an optimal moist wound management environment which promotes healing, reduces the
likelihood of scarring and helps soothe pain.
• Stable and counteract leakage and maceration:
The viscous texture of the gel makes it stay in place, and even after absorption of debris and exudate the gel will remain
cohesive and counteract leakage and maceration.
• Easy to remove:
The gel is easy to remove due to high cohesion even after absorption of debris and exudate.

Indications:
®
• Cavidagel Gel is primarily intended for the treatment of necrotic and sloughy wounds, e.g. leg ulcers, pressure ulcers
and non-infected diabetic foot ulcers.
®
• Cavidagel may also be used on 1st and 2nd degree burns.
• The gel may be used throughout the healing process to provide a moist wound healing environment in all types of wounds.

Contraindications:
• Full thickness burns

Instructions for use:

• Rinse the wound with physiological saline or tap water.
®
• To optimise the use of Cavidagel , apply according to the diagrams shown below.
• Gently dry the skin around the wound.
• The wound should not be filled to a higher level than the surrounding skin.
• Cover with a secondary dressing. For low to medium exuding wounds, choose a hydrocolloid as a secondary dressing
e.g. Pharmacoll Comfort or Pharmacoll Comfort Plus. For medium to highly exuding wounds, choose a highly absorbent
and highly permeable dressing to cover e.g. Espuma Comfort or Espuma
®
• Comfort Plus. For slightly or non-exuding wounds, Cavidagel could be covered with film dressing e.g. Protectfilm.
®
• To optimise cleansing of necrotic and sloughy wounds, it is recommended to change Cavidagel at least every 3rd day,
®
due to the larger amount of exudate. In case of clean wounds, Cavidagel should be changed depending on the amount
of exudate.
• The gel can be removed from the wound by rinsing with physiological saline or tap water.
