The professional's guide to wound product selection
A soft, conformable polyurethane foam dressing with a vapour-permeable film backing. The dressing has 3DFit technology, which means the foam conforms to the wound bed to fill the gap and reduce pooling of exudate. It has a partially-adherent layer to aid application for wounds that are difficult to dress.
Highly absorbent dressing consisting of a superabsorbent hydrocapillary pad with a semipermeable, water and bacteria-proof top film, a hydrocolloid component for adhesion and a non-adhesive wound contact layer.
A highly absorbent dressing consisting of a superabsorbent hydrocapillary pad with a semi-permeable, water- and bacteria-proof top film, a non-adhesive wound contact layer and a microporous skin protection layer. Can be used under compression.
A soft polyurethane foam dressing with vapour-permeable film backing. Impregnated with ibuprofen. The dressing conforms to the wound bed to fill the gap and reduce pooling of exudate. Bevelled edges.
Soft, conformable, polyurethane foam dressing with vapour-permeable film backing and a partially-adherent contact layer. Impregnated with ibuprofen. Conforms to wound bed to fill gap and reduce pooling of exudate.
Biosurgical treatment for the debridement and cleansing of wounds consisting of aseptically produced larvae of Lucillia sericata sealed in a finely woven polyester pouch containing larvae and PVA foam spacer piece(s). The foam spacers help prevent occlusion of the larvae. Each kit also contains Sudocrem.
Composite dressing containing a silicone membrane with a knitted nylon fabric partially embedded in it. A purified porcine collagen is bound to the fabric. Blood and sera clot in the fabric, adhering the dressing to the wound surface until epithelialisation can occur. Also available in glove form for use on burns of the hand.
A self-adhesive dressing consisting of a transparent semipermeable, polyurethane film coated with an acrylic adhesive.
A soft, conformable, non-woven dressing made from sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and strengthening cellulose fibres. Designed to absorb fluid while maintaining its structural integrity and to make dressing changes less painful.
Offloading device that completely suspends the heel. Has two internal foam finishes (convoluted or smooth) and a friction-free exterior surface. Ventilation holes promote air circulation. Three straps hold the forefoot and lower leg in an orthograde position. Can be worn on either the right or left foot. Machine washable. The device is supplied with a forefoot pad, a long calf pad (30cm), a positioning wedge (to counteract external rotation of the leg) and a laundry bag.
The device is manufactured by DARCO and distributed by V-M Orthotics.
