Exclusively for
Podiatry
Introducing… AmeriGel Post-Op Surgical Kit
Everything your
patients need following:
-
Toenail Surgery
-
Wart Removals
-
Wound Debridement
-
And
Other Applications
Compliance:
Eliminating soaking and reducing
dressing changes to once a day, makes post-op care as simple and easy
as getting dressed each day. Post-op care for these procedures has
never been so easy.
Convenience:
AmeriGel Post-Op Surgical Kit contains everything the patient needs to
perform daily dressing changes. Why send the patient wandering around
and ambulating through a pharmacy looking for this and that? Patients
can now simply go home, rest, elevate their leg and start dressing
changes the next day.
Control: The
AmeriGel Post-Op Kit eliminates the guesswork entirely and provides
everything the patient needs. This prevents long discussions with
patients regarding post-op care and supplies, only to have your
patient return to the practice with plastic non-absorptive bandages.
Consistency:
Similar to a study or controlled-trial, every patient is provided the
same dressing supplies with the kit. This helps eliminate numerous
variables that could adversely affect outcomes.
Each Kit contains:
One 1 oz tube AmeriGel Wound Dressing
One 4 oz bottle Amerigel Saline Wound Wash
30 each 1”x 3” Latex-free elastic fabric bandages
30 each 4-ply non-woven (fabric-like) 2” x 2” gauze
