365 Self Adhesive Silicone Foam Wound Dressing Pad 10 x 10 cm - Pack of 10 (Ref 36590072)

10 Dressings/Pack. 365 Silicone Foam Wound Dressing is a sterile self adhesive dressing to manage moderately exuding wounds whilst minimising pain and skin/wound trauma during dressing changes The hydrophobic layer of soft silicone based adhesive enables the dressing to adhere to the wound area without sticking to newly formed wound healing granulation tissue. The wound contact layer is perforated with tiny holes which enable the passage of wound exudate into the foam whilst protecting the wound bed. The thin semi-permable film backing protects the wound from external contaminants and minimises the risk of strike through from the wound onto bedding or clothes. Suitable for use with chronic and acute wounds with light to moderate levels of exudate. For example; skin abrasions, pre-tibial lacerations, pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, post-operative wounds, superficial burns, donor sites, traumatic wounds and shallow, granulating wounds. Precautions: Silicone foam dressings are not suitable for arterial bleeds. Do not overlay or overlap foam dressings. Do not stretch the skin or dressings during application. Silicone is hydrophobic and will not adhere to wet skin. Do not use or discontinue use if the patient is allergic to silicone. Dressings can be left in place for up to 7 days, or until exudate is visible and approaches 1 cm from edge of the dressing pad, whichever is sooner. Precautions: Do not use if the peel pouch is opened or damaged. If the condition of the wound deteriorates, discontinue use and consult your healthcare professional.
