Formerly known as Epifix, this is minimially manipulated, dehyrdated, non-viable, human cellular amniotic/chorion membrane (dHACM) allograft derived from the placenta. It contains multiple extracellular matrix proteins, growth factors, cytokines and other specialty proteins present in amniotic tissue to provide a barrier membrane that enhances healing.
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.

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.
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.
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.
