Intrasite Hydrogel Wound Dressings

Intrasite from Smith & Nephew is an amorphous hydrogel used to rehydrate dry wounds, soften and loosen slough, and support autolytic debridement — the body's own way of clearing devitalized tissue. Clinicians reach for it on sloughy or necrotic wounds, pressure injuries, leg ulcers, and dry cavities where donating moisture is the goal rather than absorbing exudate.

The gel is clear and non-adherent, so it spreads easily into the wound bed and rinses away cleanly at dressing changes without disturbing new granulation tissue. Because it maintains a moist wound environment, it's often paired with a secondary cover dressing to hold the gel in place and manage any excess fluid. Its clarity also lets you see the wound bed at each change, making progress easier to assess.

This collection carries the Intrasite Hydrogel Dressing in the 25-gram Applipak (66027313), a sterile format whose applicator nozzle makes it practical for deeper or narrow wounds, alongside the 15-gram tube (66027311) and the smaller 0.28 oz gel (66027308) for treating minor or shallow wounds. All contain propylene glycol as part of the moisture-donating formula, so review contraindications for patients with a known sensitivity.

Choosing between sterile and non-sterile usually comes down to setting and wound risk: sterile Applipaks suit clinical procedures and surgically debrided wounds, while the tubes work well for routine care of chronic wounds under supervision. Match the pack size to your typical wound volume to reduce waste, since hydrogel is applied fresh at each change.
