title: Urgotul: alternative to conventional non-adherence dressings.
abstract: This article describes a novel dressing product that was developed from existing technology: hydrocolloid. The main benefits of Urgotul relate to the fact that it does not adhere to the wound surface, so both wound trauma on removal and the build up of moisture under the dressing are avoided.
