Soft, conformable, highly absorbent calcium sodium alginate dressing. Available in a felt or a rope.
A soft, conformable, highly absorbent dressing that converts into a soft clear gel when in contact with wound exudate. Contains a reinforcing layer between two layers of absorbent fibres to improve the integrity of the dressing when it is wet, so that it can be removed intact.
A sterile, non-woven pad consisting of a high M (mannuronic acid) calcium alginate and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Silver ions are released in the presence of wound fluid. As fluid is absorbed, the alginate forms a soft gel. Effective for up to 7 days.
Combines two wound-care technologies: carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and alginate fibres. A soft, conformable, highly absorbent dressing that converts into a soft clear gel when in contact with wound exudate. A hidden integrity layer in the dressing aids intact removal. Can remain in situ for up to 7 days.
A two-layer dressing consisting of a polyurethane bacterial barrier membrane with a centrally located hydrophilic pad and an acrylic adhesive border.
A three-layer construction with a low-friction backing, a soft highly absorbent foam and a perforated wound contact layer.
Consists of a thin layer of hydrocolloid laminated to a highly breathable film. Contains a mixture of synthetic polymers and hydrophilic powders, with a high moisture vapour transmission rate film backing. Does not contain animal-derived ingredients.
Consists of a layer of hydrocolloid laminated to a breathable film, and a polyurethane foam backing. Does not contain animal-derived ingredients.
Contains 85% water and a collection of polymer chains that are water insoluble. Does not contain animal-derived ingredients.
A sterile antimicrobial wound dressing consisting of an absorbent hydrophilic polyurethane foam pad, containing the antimicrobial substance, polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB, polyhexanide). The dressing is laminated with a pink, low-friction, waterproof polyurethane film, and is available with and without adhesive. The PHMB is released in the presence of wound exudate. The wound contact layer side of the dressing has a clear perforated film with that stops the wound bed from adhering to the dressing; the non-adhesive version also has a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive.
