The professional's guide to wound product selection
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.
Adhesive island dressing comprising a non-adherent centre pad, non-woven adhesive border and a water-resistant backing.
White, starch-based sterile ointment that reduces local wound pH to around 5 and thereby modulates protease activity.
Sterile, non-adhesive, multilayer dressing with a highly absorbent wound contact layer, an one-way, water-resistant film to delay strikethrough to the carbon layer, thereby prolonging its odour absorptive properties, an activated charcoal cloth, an absorbent pad for comfort and a water-resistant top layer.
