The professional's guide to wound product selection
Derived from porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS). SIS products support the body’s own healing process by providing a natural extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold that remodels into patient tissue.
Cream containing panthenol to support skin regeneration and bisabolol to reduce inflammation. Colour- and perfume-free. Inhibits odour-forming organisms.
A combination of hydrogel and octenidine, to keep the wound moist, inactivate microorganisms and loosen encrusted coatings
Wound irrigation solution containing a combination of octenidine and ethylhexylglycerin. Ethylhexylglycerin reduces surface tension and moistens the skin, loosening biofilm and devitalised tissue. Octenidine prevents bacteria and fungi growing in the solution and the wound dressing.
Fleecy, soft wash mitts containing the broad-spectrum antimicrobial octenidine, phenoxyethanol and allantoin to soothe the skin. Colour- and perfume-free. No rinsing required.
A sterile dressing composed of pure activated carbon encased in a non-woven nylon envelope
Permeable, apertured, non-woven synthetic adhesive tape
Adhesive wound-closure strip made of non-woven flexible fabric
Suspension boot with a fixed pad of latex-free foam for completely elevating the heel and redistributing pressure along the calf. Gentle cradling and cushioning of the lower leg with the heel elevated in protective space reduces the chances of irritation or pressure points, while friction-free Tricot backing and soft felt closure straps for a secure fit minimises the risk of pressure, friction and shear to the heel. Foam forefoot support allows dorsiflexion while preventing heel-cord contracture (foot drop) and external hip rotation (with the spare pad or a wedge). Can be customised to meet individual patient needs and offload other lower extremity pressure points. The semi-rigid splint helps maintain proper foot position, prevent foot drop deformity and allow weight bearing transfers.
Thin, breathable, waterproof and transparent film dressing with a silicone adhesive that is suitable for use on individuals with fragile skin. OPSITE Flexifix Gentle is available on a roll so that it can be cut to the appropriate size to cover small or larger areas.
