The professional's guide to wound product selection
Silicone-based spray for easy, pain-free removal of all types of adhesives, including plasters, tapes, dressings, stoma and adhesive patches. Contains ingredients that quickly form a layer that interrupts the adhesive bond so the adhesive product can be gently lifted away. The ingredients evaporate quickly, leaving no residue, enabling a new adhesive product to be applied.
Ergonomic, liquid-filled, pressure-redistributing insoles. Fabric covered for added comfort. Slim, so fits most types of shoes. According to manufacturer, is clinically proven to reduce peak forefoot pressure by over 21% immediately and to increase circulation by over 5% with one week’s use.
Tissue adhesive. Available as Standard and Flow Control Tissue Adhesive.
Hydroactive, low-adherent, antibacterial honey-containing dressing with an adhesive film border. This sterile, semipermeable dressing contains 30% honey, as well as an acrylic polymer gel and water, and a polyurethane film backing. The honey-hydrogel pad rehydrates dry tissue and absorbs low levels of exudate.
Hydroactive, low-adherent, honey-containing dressing. Sterile, semipermeable dressing contains 30% honey, acrylic polymer gel and water, with polyurethane film backing. Honey-hydrogel pad donates moisture to rehydrate dry tissue and absorbs low to moderate levels of exudate.
A sterile, antimicrobial, open-weave mesh dressing coated with a hydroactive honey-hydrogel. It contains 20% medical-grade honey, an acrylic polymer gel and water on a polyester mesh structure. This allows for the passage of exudate, which is absorbed by the secondary dressing.
Antibacterial ointment with 48% medical-grade honey, containing medical-grade hypoallergenic lanolin (Medilan), sunflower oil, cod liver oil, Calendula officinalis, Aloe barbadensis, vitamins C and E, and zinc oxide. Single-patient multi-use.
Antibacterial gel containing 40% medical-grade honey, medical-grade hypoallergenic lanolin (Medilan), propylene glycol, PEG 4000 and vitamins C and E. Designed for patients with sensitivity to honey (has a reduced honey content). Single-patient multi-use.
Gel-forming wound contact dressing. Consists of a wide mesh tulle and a coating compound made from petroleum jelly and hydrocolloid. The hydrocolloid particles gel when in contact with wound exudate and the petroleum jelly moisturises dry areas in the wound bed and edges. The open mesh structure promotes transfer of excess exudate to a secondary dressing. Can be cut to size and applied on either side.
A non-cytotoxic, cyanoacrylate-based monomer that forms a strong protective layer over skin. As the cyanoacrylate polymerizes, it bonds to the skin surface. It resists external moisture, yet allows the skin to breathe.
