Ordinary glycerin or saline-based impregnated gauze merely maintains a moist wound environment that enables the removal of necrotic or devitalized tissue. Oakin® assists to lyse or break down necrotic tissue and softens eschar, often without the need for more costly enzymatic agents. AmeriGel® is not tissue selective; therefore it can be used on red, black or yellow wounds. Some dense fibrin caps or tenacious fibrin deposits may need to be mechanically removed.

When evaluating an impregnated gauze, many wound care specialists simply open one and leave it open to see how long it retains moisture. Typical saline or glycerin-based impregnated gauzes usually dry out within 24-48 hours. Due to the it's polyethylene glycol base, AmeriGel® remains moist for up to seven days without maceration. This slower evaporation is ideal when used in a multiple layer compression device.

The AmeriGel Saturated Gauze is the dressing I use the most in my clinic for a lot of reasons. As most of my patients are diabetic and high risk, I want a dressing that is cost effective, provides moist wound healing and one that also has antimicrobial characteristics. In my mind, it's the perfect dressing for a whole host of different types of ulcerations. The ease of use at home along with the fact that patients love it, makes it perfect for our clinic.

I've had great success with AmeriGel Saturated Gauze Dressing helping to promote wound closure.

For my office, the following products work quite well: AmeriGel Wound Dressing, Saturated Gauze Pads, Post Op Kits and the Care Lotion.
