Espuma Gentle Lite Comfort Island Foam Dressings

Features

✚ Gentle soft silicone gel allows atraumatic dressing removal.
✚ Perforated silicone layer allows free passage of wound exudate to the foam and prevents skin maceration.
✚ High absorption capacity polyurethane foam provides a cushioning effect.
✚ Spreading layer spreads the exudate into the retention layer.
✚ Highly breathable top sheet allows evaporation of absorbed exudates and enhances fluid handling capacity of the dressing.
✚ The waterproof top sheet prevents strike-through and allows showering while the dressing is in place.

Indications:

Suitable for dressing many types of odourless and malodorous / low to highly exuding wounds, including:
✚ Leg and pressure ulcers
✚ Diabetic ulcers
✚ First and second degree burns
✚ Surgical incisions
✚ Traumatic wounds resulting in skin loss
May also be used under compression bandaging.

Contraindications / Precautions:

✚ Do not use with oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite solutions or hydrogen peroxide, as these can break down the absorbent polyurethane component of the dressing.
✚ These dressings should not be used on patients with a known sensitivity to this dressing or any of its components.
✚ In case of infection, these dressings can still be used under medical supervision and with antimicrobial conjunctive therapy.

Layers

1. Polyurethane Film
2. Polyurethane Foam
3. Perforated Silicone Gel Layer
4. Release Liner

How to Use:

1. Clean & dry the wound thoroughly.
2. Remove and release the liner from the silicone wound contact layer.
3. A dressing should be selected that overlaps the wound margin by at least two centimetres.

Do not cut to size. This dressing doesn't need any retention aid or fixation dressing as the polyurethane adhesive border is enough for fixation of the foam.

Frequency of Change:
The interval between dressing changes will normally be determined by the degree of exudate produced, but the dressing may be left undisturbed for several days on clean, lightly exuding wounds.
