Intrasite Gel 15g

About Intrasite Gel 15g

Intrasite Gel Uses

• Chronic wounds such as leg ulcers and pressure sores
• Diabetic foot ulcers that need regular wound bed care
• Autolytic debridement of dead or sloughy tissue
• Traumatic wounds, minor burns, and post surgical wounds
• Cavity wounds that need a moist healing environment

Intrasite Gel Benefits

• Softens hardened dead tissue without harming healthy skin
• Maintains a moist wound bed, which supports faster healing
• Reduces pain and trauma during dressing changes
• Does not stick to the wound surface
• Works well under a wide range of secondary dressings

Wound care specialists in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi commonly recommend Intrasite Gel for patients managing diabetic foot ulcers and pressure sores, since Pakistan sees a high number of chronic wound cases linked to diabetes. This hydrogel is a standard choice in hospital wound clinics and home care plans across these cities.

The gel works by donating moisture to dry, necrotic tissue, which softens it so the body can break it down naturally. This process, called autolytic debridement, avoids the need for repeated surgical cleaning in many mild to moderate wounds. Nurses usually apply it as part of a structured dressing routine.

This is a hospital grade wound product, so it should be used under medical supervision rather than for casual self care. A single 15g tube costs around Rs 1730, which reflects its specialized formulation. Anyone managing a non healing wound should have it assessed by a doctor before starting treatment with this gel.
