Products

Conotrane

This water-repellent, antiseptic barrier cream protects skin from moisture, irritants, chafing and contamination with bacteria or yeasts. It contains 22% dimeticone and 0.1% benzalkonium chloride and is active against bacteria and yeasts.

ConvaMax Superabsorber

A superabsorber dressing that manages high levels of exudate, to maintain skin integrity and support healing by absorbing exudate through the skin contact layer, into the core which contains superabsorbent polymers where it locks the exudate into a gel. This means the fluid is retained, even under compression.

Cosmopor

Cosmopor E

CovaWound Foam

A two-layer dressing comprising a non-adherent, highly absorbent polyurethane foam and a breathable polyurethane film backing. The foam core is designed to absorb and retain exudate, while the outer layer allows moisture vapour transmission away from the dressing.

CovaWound Foam (Bordered)

A three-layer dressing comprising a highly absorbent polyurethane foam core, a breathable polyurethane film and a translucent, breathable polyurethane backing

CovaWound Hydrocolloid

A two-layer dressing comprising an absorbent hydrocolloid matrix laminated to a highly breathable polyurethane film backing. The hydrocolloid matrix absorbs exudate and forms a cohesive gel, while the breathable polyurethane film backing provides a high rate of moisture vapour transmission.
