What Is Intrasite 15 Gm?

Intrasite 15 Gm is a sterile, amorphous hydrogel dressing delivered in a 15-gram Applipak unit — a specially designed applicator that allows precise, controlled delivery of the gel directly onto the wound site, even in hard-to-reach or awkward wound locations. The gel is transparent, easy to apply, and does not adhere to wound tissue, making application and removal significantly less painful for patients compared to traditional dressings. Its active composition includes Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC), propylene glycol, and purified water. CMC forms the gel's base structure and gives it excellent moisture-retaining properties. Propylene glycol acts as a humectant, preventing the gel from drying out and maintaining its consistency over the wound surface throughout the dressing period. The product contains no preservatives, making it a gentle choice for sensitive or compromised skin.

How Does Intrasite 15 Gm Work?

The core mechanism of Intrasite 15 Gm lies in its ability to manage moisture at the wound surface intelligently. Its partially hydrated formulation means it can both donate moisture to drier wound environments and absorb excess exudate from wetter ones — creating a balanced, moist wound healing environment in either scenario.

Debriding Action

Intrasite 15 Gm gently rehydrates necrotic (dead) tissue. This softening effect supports autolytic debridement — a natural process in which the body's own enzymes break down and remove dead tissue. Unlike sharp debridement, this process is painless and does not disturb surrounding healthy tissue.

Desloughing Action

The gel absorbs slough and excess exudate from the wound bed without damaging the delicate granulation tissue forming beneath. This desloughing action helps prepare the wound bed for healthy tissue regeneration and ultimately, wound closure.

Moist Wound Healing Environment

By maintaining adequate moisture at the wound surface, Intrasite 15 Gm helps prevent eschar (dry scab) formation, which can slow healing. A moist environment also facilitates the migration of epithelialising cells — the cells responsible for new skin growth — across the wound surface, accelerating the overall repair process.

What Is Intrasite 15 Gm Used For?

Intrasite 15 Gm is suitable for a broad spectrum of wound types, making it a versatile tool across clinical and home care settings. It is indicated for use on:

Pressure ulcers (bed sores) at all stages
Venous and arterial leg ulcers
Diabetic foot ulcers, under appropriate supervision
Superficial and partial-thickness burns
Surgical incisions and post-operative wounds
Superficial lacerations, abrasions, cuts, and skin tears
Necrotic and sloughy wounds requiring gentle debridement

It is important to note that Intrasite 15 Gm is intended for external use only. It should not be applied to third-degree (full-thickness) burns or used in patients with a known sensitivity to any of its components.

How to Apply Intrasite 15 Gm

Applying Intrasite 15 Gm correctly is key to achieving the best wound healing outcomes. Follow these steps for safe and effective use:

Begin by cleaning the wound and surrounding skin thoroughly using sterile saline solution or an appropriate wound cleanser.
Gently pat the surrounding skin dry without disturbing the wound bed.
Remove the blue protective cap from the Applipak nozzle.
Apply a layer of gel approximately 3 to 5 mm thick directly onto the wound surface, ensuring complete coverage of the wound bed.
Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing — such as a foam dressing, film dressing, or gauze — to secure the gel in place and manage exudate levels.
Change the dressing based on the clinical condition of the wound. On necrotic or sloughy wounds, dressing changes are typically recommended every 1 to 3 days. On clean, granulating wounds, changes may be less frequent depending on exudate levels.
To remove, simply irrigate the wound with normal saline. The gel is non-adherent and comes away cleanly without causing trauma to the wound bed.

Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before initiating Intrasite 15 Gm as part of your wound care protocol, particularly for chronic wounds or wounds that are not responding to treatment.

Key Benefits of Intrasite 15 Gm

Intrasite 15 Gm stands apart from conventional wound dressings due to its multi-functional properties and clinically validated performance:

Non-cytotoxic and preservative-free, making it safe for sensitive and fragile tissue
Compatible with a wide range of secondary dressings for layered wound care routines
Reduces the frequency of dressing changes, minimising wound disruption and patient discomfort
Gentle cooling and soothing effect on painful or inflamed wound sites
Suitable for use at all stages of the wound management process — from initial debridement through to final wound closure
Easy-to-use Applipak system ensures hygienic, precise, and waste-reduced application

Precautions and Contraindications

While Intrasite 15 Gm is suitable for a wide range of wound types and patient profiles, certain precautions apply. Use with care in the following situations:

Avoid application near the eyes or in deep wounds with narrow openings (such as fistulas), where complete removal of the gel may be difficult.
Not intended for use in third-degree burns or heavily infected wounds without concurrent antimicrobial therapy.
Discontinue use immediately if signs of increased redness, pain, swelling, or infection appear, and seek medical advice.
Check the expiry date before use and ensure packaging is intact and sterile.
Do not ingest. Intrasite 15 Gm is for external use only.

For patients managing long-term conditions such as diabetes or vascular disease, regular monitoring of wound progress is essential. Ed Care Store recommends always working alongside a licensed healthcare provider when managing chronic or complex wounds.

Intrasite 15 Gm and Eye-Related Wound Care

Patients dealing with wounds around the eye area or eyelid abrasions should approach topical gel use with extreme caution and always follow specialist advice. For dedicated ophthalmic care products, explore our range of eye care products, including therapeutic eye drops, eye gels, eye care capsules, and eye injections for specialised conditions requiring targeted treatment.

Storage and Handling

Store Intrasite 15 Gm at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep in the original sealed packaging until ready to use. Do not use beyond the printed expiry date, and do not re-use the Applipak after opening, as this may compromise sterility. Keep out of reach of children. Dispose of used gel and packaging in line with local healthcare waste disposal guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Intrasite 15 Gm be used on infected wounds?

Intrasite 15 Gm is not an antimicrobial agent and is not recommended as a standalone treatment for clinically infected wounds. If infection is suspected, appropriate antimicrobial therapy should be initiated first, alongside wound management. Always consult your healthcare provider. For general health queries and product guidance, visit our Ed Care Store blog.

How often should Intrasite 15 Gm dressings be changed?

On necrotic or heavily sloughy wounds, dressings should be changed every 1 to 3 days. On clean, granulating wounds with minimal exudate, the interval between changes can be extended based on wound assessment. Always follow clinical guidance specific to your wound type and condition.

Is Intrasite 15 Gm suitable for diabetic foot ulcers?

Yes, Intrasite 15 Gm can be used in the management of diabetic foot ulcers under appropriate healthcare supervision. For patients with diabetes managing multiple health conditions, Ed Care Store also offers a full range of men's health products and women's health products for holistic wellbeing support.

Can Intrasite 15 Gm be used under compression bandaging?

Yes, Intrasite 15 Gm is compatible with compression therapy for the management of venous leg ulcers. It can be applied as the primary wound contact layer beneath compression bandaging, provided a suitable secondary dressing is used to contain the gel. For respiratory health products that complement overall patient care, also see our inhaler range and reach out via our contact page for any purchasing or product queries.
