Moisture Absorbent Wound Dressing

Absorbent dressings stay dry and comfortable and do not require frequent change.

Moisture absorbent wound dressing.

After contact with exudate sodium and calcium ions are exchanged between wound and dressing. Super absorbent polymers bind wound drainage and convert it to a gel holds more fluid locking fluid inside the dressing helping to decrease the risk of maceration and keeping the harmful wound fluid components away from the wound and periwound skin can be used as a primary or secondary dressing for moderate to heavy exudate. Slough covered wounds. Moisture retention and fluid absorption eg hydrocolloid alginate.

The urgosorb borderis an absorbent dressing giving effects of calcium alginate fibres and hydrocolloid particles. Acticoat moisture control provides an effective barrier to bacterial penetration. An absorbent wound dressing 1 includes a polymer foam layer 3 having a plurality of discrete zones 2 on at least one surface 4 of the foam layer the material forming the zones being less swellable than the foam layer material such that when the dressing is placed with the zones of polymeric material in contact with a wet surface the zones move apart as the foam layer absorbs fluid. Absorbent compress dressings are super absorbent wound dressings designed to treat highly exuding wounds and protect them from exposure to the environment.

Acticoat moisture control is an absorbent 3 layer dressing consisting of a nanocrystalline silver coated polyurethane layer a polyurethane foam layer and a waterproof polyurethane film layer. This increased absorbent capacity allows for superior moisture management longer wear times and ultimately fewer dressing changes. It maintains a moist environment that facilitates the healing process in the wound. These dressings have a comfortable fixative layer which combine to manage effectively various sutured wounds.

However the wound tissues are moist small 25 of the dressing has drainage on it the wound tissues are visibly moist and the moisture is evenly distributed in the wound moderate drainage involves 25 to 75 of the dressing the wound tissues are. This controlled release of ionic silver inhibits a broad spectrum of infection causing microbes including antibiotic resistant strains. Moisture retention eg hydrocolloid semi permeable. There is no measurable exudate on the dressing.

Graze abrasions clean. As a result there is minimal pain when the dressing is removed. Learn more about ultra. They are capable of retaining large amounts of exudates and preventing bacteria from entering the wound.

Consider alginate or hydrocolloid if high exudate. Ultra silver antimicrobial foam wound. An absorbent dressing protects and absorbs exudate of wounds in a moist environment which promotes healing and will not stick to the wound.
