Wound healing is a complex process influenced by many factors both inside the body and in the environment.
Highly absorbent multi-layer dressings for moderate to heavy drainage, suitable for pressure injuries, post-surgical wounds, venous leg ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers. Absorbs excess moisture while maintaining a moist wound bed; cushions and protects; comfortable and conformable; change when saturated or per schedule. Not for dry wounds.
Adhesive gel-forming dressings creating a moist healing environment. Best for partial-thickness wounds, stage 1-2 pressure injuries, minor burns, and wounds with light to moderate drainage. Maintain moisture, waterproof barrier, promote autolytic debridement; change when edges lift or gel saturates; not for infected wounds.
Natural fiber dressings from seaweed that form gel when absorbing drainage. Ideal for highly draining, deep cavity, surgical, and infected wounds (with antimicrobials). Exceptional absorption, maintain moisture, hemostatic properties; require secondary dressing; change when saturated; rinse thoroughly during removal.
Thin, clear adhesive sheets allowing wound visualization. Used for superficial wounds, post-surgical incisions, IV sites, and wound protection. Allow monitoring without removal; waterproof and breathable; minimal disturbance; apply to clean, dry skin; not for moderate-heavy drainage.
Hydrophilic dressings that donate moisture to dry wounds. Suitable for dry or minimally draining wounds, necrotic tissue, painful wounds, burns, and radiation wounds. Facilitate autolytic debridement; soothing and pain-reducing; require secondary dressing; change every 1-3 days; not for heavily draining wounds.
Contain infection-fighting agents like silver, iodine, PHMB, or honey. For infected wounds, high infection risk, diabetic ulcers, and chronic wounds with biofilm. Provide broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection; reduce bacterial load; use as prescribed; monitor for sensitivity; combine with appropriate base dressing.
Multi-layer dressings combining materials (foam, film, absorbent layers) for various wound needs. Suitable for multiple wound types, post-surgical incisions, and wounds needing waterproof protection. Simplify dressing changes; protect wounds while managing moisture; adhesive borders secure dressing; single-use; change per interval.
