URGO warts cryotherapy treatment is a home cryotherapy device indicated for the treatment of common wartson the hands and feet, in adults and children aged over 4.
Ready-to-use, URGO warts cryotherapy treatment is a safe, innovative and effective method for removing warts from the feet and hands at home.
1. First determine the size of the wart and the appropriate number of doses using the table above. One treatment corresponds to 3-5 doses of product.
Do not remove the applicator from the bottle.
Small wart (3 mm or less): deliver 3 doses of cryogen
Medium wart (3 and 5 mm): deliver 4 doses of cryogen
Large wart (6 mm or more): deliver 5 doses of cryogen
2. Position the wart facing upwards, then place the applicator upside down directly over the wart, so that it encloses it. Position the opening of the applicator around the wart, making sure that the applicator is in contact with the skin.
3.Hold the aerosol vertically at a maximum angle of 30° for effective treatment.
4. Press the bottle 3-5 times in succession (see table) to deliver the correct amount of cryogen for the size of your wart. Then hold the applicator tip in contact with the wart for at least 10 seconds.
A white halo of approximately 2 mm may appear. A small scab will form once the area dries - this will heal over the coming days and weeks.
5. Once the application is complete, remove the applicator. A mild sensation of pain or tingling may be felt during and immediately after treatment - these sensations gradually subside.
Moistening the wart before treatment may help soften it.
After use, clean the opening of the applicator tip with an alcohol-soaked cotton pad to reduce the risk of transmission or infection.
If the wart is swollen and/or very tender after treatment, a protective dressing may be applied for additional protection.
If you are unsure whether the area to be treated is a wart, seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist before use.
