Description
Key Features:
Hydrocolloid Technology: This dressing is a hydrocolloid, which means it contains gel-forming agents that interact with wound exudate (drainage) to create a moist healing environment.
Size: It is a large, 8" x 8" square dressing.
Protective Barrier: It provides a protective, translucent, and occlusive barrier that helps to prevent contamination and external friction. The translucence also allows for observation of the wound without removing the dressing.
Low-Profile and Tapered Edges: The dressing has a thin, tapered edge that helps it conform to the body's contours, reducing the risk of the edges rolling up and peeling off.
Satin Backing: The smooth, satin backing has low friction, which contributes to a longer wear time and helps protect the skin from shear forces.
Absorbency: It is designed for wounds with light to moderate drainage.
Long Wear Time: The dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days, depending on the amount of wound drainage.
Latex-Free: The product is manufactured without natural rubber latex.
Sterile: It is a sterile dressing.
Uses:
Wound Healing: Its primary use is to facilitate wound healing by maintaining a moist environment, which is crucial for the body's natural healing processes.
Indications: It is indicated for a variety of wounds, including:
Pressure injuries (bedsores)
Partial- and full-thickness wounds
Leg ulcers
Donor sites
Lacerations and abrasions
