A new primary wound dressing made of polyethylene oxide gel.
Vigilon is a new primary wound dressing consisting of 96% water and polyethylene oxide. This moisture-containing, occlusive dressing absorbs its own weight in wound exudate and allows free transfer of oxygen. It is non-adherent and appears to promote better wound healing than that reported by other occlusive dressings, making it an ideal dressing for a wide variety of dermatologic surgery.
