Lomatuell® Pro

clinical information

Gel-forming contact net

Lomatuell Pro is a gel-forming mesh contact consisting of a polyester tulle lattice and a coating compound made from a polymer matrix, Vaseline and hydrocolloid. When the hydrocolloid particles come into contact with wound exudate, they gel; thus keeping the wound environment moist, while preventing the wound dressing from sticking to the wound. The Vaseline moisturises dry wound areas and the wound edge. 

Lomatuell Pro is particularly easy to apply, as it can be cut to size and applied on either side. 

Lomatuell Pro is used in combination with a secondary dressing, is very soft and is atraumatically removed with minimal pain. 

Properties

  • formation of a gel layer made up of petroleum jelly and hydrocolloid particles

  • atraumatic dressing changes

  • easy to use

  • can be used on both sides

  • can be cut to size for different sizes of wound and areas of the body

EWMA Conference - June 2017

Application of non-adhering dressings during NPWT in vitro

In vitro study testing Lomatuell Pro under NPWT. Cell viability and ingrowth was determined. Lomatuell Pro did not negatively affect the cells. Fibroblasts migrated in the direction of the vacuum. The structure of the dressing was not adversely effected.
