Sorbaderm No-Sting Barrier Film (spray & applicator)

Sorbaderm No-Sting Barrier Film (spray & applicator)

Sorbaderm Barrier Film is a polymeric solution which forms a uniform film when applied to the skin. The product is dispersed in a non-stinging solvent, which dries rapidly. The film is colourless, transparent, and possesses good oxygen and moisture vapour permeability. Sorbaderm Barrier Film helps to protect intact or damaged skin from irritation caused by urine and/or faecal incontinence, digestive juices, and wound drainage.

Sorbsan

Natural calcium alginate dressing constructed of loose fibers made from seaweed. Forming an amorphous gel when in contact with exudate, allows the dressing to maximise contact with the wound bed, reducing the risk of untreated gaps. Sorbsan fibres totally disperse upon irrigation minimising the potential for foreign body reaction.

Sorbsan Silver Flat

A sterile, non-woven, calcium alginate dressing with silver. High in mannuronic acid and low in guluronic acid. The fibres swell and form a gel on contact with wound exudate, releasing ionic silver particles to reduce bioburden. Will promote haemostasis in bleeding wounds.

Spirit Alginate

Dressings to control minor bleeding, derived from the calcium salts of seaweed. The alginate fibres form a hydrophilic gel on contact with wound fluid to allow maximum contact with the wound bed. Alginates absorb exudate away from the wound while providing a moist wound environment conducive to healing. The range offers an alginate ribbon for narrow wounds or sinuses, alginate packing in the form a ‘rope’ for cavities and an alginate flat sheet for application to shallow wounds.

Spirit Foam

Sterile silicone wound contact dressing that consists of soft highly absorbent foam with a permeable polyurethane foam film backing, designed to absorb and retain exudate while maintaining a moist wound environment.

Spirit Hydrogel

Transparent soothing, debriding and moisturing non-adherent dressing that responds to moisture level in the wound.

Spirit Silicone Foam

Dressing constructed from a vapour permeable polyurethane film, a superabsorbent core and a gentle silicone adhesive wound contact layer. This multi-layer construction facilitates dynamic fluid management to provide the optimum moist wound environment and minimizes trauma and pain during dressing changes. The range consists of border, lite border, non-border and sacral silicone foam dressings to meet a wide range of needs.

Spirit Thin Hydrocolloid

Highly flexible, non-adherent dressing with hydrocolloid matrix to absorb exudate with breathable polurethane backing to provide a waterproof, bacterial and viral protective barrier.
