Ligasano wound treatment general

Ligasano is a single-layer polyurethane medical dressing with honeycomb structure, differential porosity and a unique granular surface.

It has been used in medicine for over 30 years.

All products are CE certified and class IIb according to MDR 2017/745

Ligasano® wound treatment

Unlike common polyurethane foams that are normaly used as secondary dressings to absorb and manage exudate, Ligasano is mainly indicated as a primary dressing for debridement and drainage of the woundbed, particularly in chronic and infected wounds.

It´s efficacy in debridement and drainage is second only to advanced surgical techniques (eg. Ultrasound, Surgery) and negative pressure wound therapy. However compared to these techniques it´s biomechanical activity is neither expensive nor operator dependent.

With it´s peculiar structure and functional properties, Ligasano is a unique dressing that grants an extremely effective and selective debridement, also in case of tunnels and fistulas, while being extremely versatile and economical.

How it works

Ligasano Ligasano applies a biomechanical action of cleansing the wound bed, that can be divided into 2 subsequent steps:

1.

The open-cell surface of Ligasano adheres to the necrotic tissue. The patient's natural movements (walking, breathing, heartbeat, etc.) rattle the honeycombed cell walls and create a slight friction with the wound walls and the wound bed. Unhealthy tissue is thus selectively removed, while underlying healthy, rooted tissue is not damaged.

2.

Honeycomb structures react to special physical laws. Under light pressure, the honeycomb cells act like small vacuum pumps and force liquids in the opposite direction. And that is why Ligasano must be lightly pressed into the wound bed. The removed tissue and exudate can flow out of the wound through the Ligasano. Fast, safe and selective. It simply works!

Different structures for different applications

Ligasano Green

Structur

LIGASANO® green is an elastic, foamed polyurethane (PUR), almost unhindered by air and water, imaginable like a three-dimensional sieve. The structure is coarse, the surface rough.

Application
Extremely high drainage, significant mechanical hard debridement capacity, considerable stimulation of the proliferative phase, insignificant absorption and thermohygrometric capabilities.

Indication
Primary dressing for hard debridement of chronic and/or infected wounds, debridement of radicated fibrinuous sediments, slough and necrotic tissues. Drainage and cleansing of heavily suppurating lesions, even with highly dense exudate. To be used in contact with necrotic and spurious tissues, and fibrinous sediments. Avoid contact with delicate tissues (tendons, bones, primary blood vessels, intestines) and healthy perilesional skin.

Using instructions Ligasano green

Ligasano White

Structure

LIGASANO® white has mixed pores, i.e. it has open, half-open and closed pores

Application

Strong drainage, high permeability, good mechanical debridement capacity (soft debridement) and stimulation of granulating tissues. Absorption capacities up to 88% of it´s volume and mantainance of thermohygrometric equilibriume.

Indications
Primary dressing for soft debridement (biofilm, slough, fibrinous sediments) of chronic and/or infected wounds. Drainage of moderately suppurating lesions with exudate of low average density. May be used in contact with delicate tissues and healthy and perilesional skin. Secondary dressing specifically indicated for infected wounds, where a highly permeabel dressing is required to control the bacterial load, opposed to other situations in which the managing of high volume of exudate in low bacterial load conditions ist he priority.
