Get The Facts First
Compared to common topicals, AmeriGel® addresses more concerns
than any other other brand on the market today. Just look
at the comparison chart below!
Eliminates Patient Soaking
Promotes safe and natural removal of devitalized tissue from
the surgical site due to its aggressive autolytic debriding
property. Also maintains a moist wound bed allowing for free
drainage, which is important for treatment of chemical burns.
Reduces Healing Times by 20-50%
Podiatrists report total matrixectomies heal between 14 to 21
days and partials in 9 to 11 days.
Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) Neutralizes Phenol
According to the MSDS for phenol, PEG is recommended for neutralization.
Therefore, if you have any residual phenol after the alcohol
flush, the PEG in AmeriGel will aid in neutralization and
reduce the potential for post-op chemical hypersensetivity.
Broad Range Antimicrobial/Antifungal
Bacatericidal against 49 gram + and - microbes, including Staph,
Strep, Pseudomonas, Candida and T. ment
Reduces Potential Complications in Healing
Prevents inflammation, potential bacterial resistance, impairment
of re-epithliazation and collagen deposition that has been documented
with often-used silver sulfadiazine (SSD.)
Provides an Antimicrobial Barrier
The typical hydrogel does NOT
offer any bactericidal/bacteriostatic
properties. AmeriGel provides an
antimicrobial barrier at the wound
site. This unique barrier protects the
wound from contamination while it
reduces the bioburden.
Indicated for use on 1st and 2nd degree burns
Requires only daily dressing changes
