Indications For exudate absorption and management of partial to full-thickness wounds, including: Ulcers (venous, arterial, diabetic) Pressure sores Donor sites Surgical incisions & excisions Burns (1st and 2nd degree) Maintains a moist wound environment → optimal for healing Provides physical separation from external contaminants, helping reduce bacterial contamination Key Features Optimal exudate management Wide range of dressing sizes Can be left in place for up to 7 days (5 days for sacral dressings, depending on exudate levels) Breathable top film Foam core with non-adherent wound contact layer Profiled edges for comfort and conformability Waterproof and protective against leakage Conformable, comfortable, and low allergy Benefits Promotes rapid wound closure with reduced maceration, leakage, and odour Helps reduce bacterial load (in vitro) Provides longer wear time and fewer dressing changes Easy to apply, remove in one piece, available in various sizes/shapes Maintains moist wound interface for optimal healing Prevents trauma by minimising tissue adherence → less pain on removal Cost-effective, convenient wound management Precautions External use only Not compatible with oxidising agents (e.g., EUSOL), hydrogen peroxide, oil-based products (e.g., petrolatum), or some topical antimicrobials Not intended for infected wounds (but may be used as adjunct under clinical protocol) Not suitable for cavity wounds (may be used as a secondary cover) May cause redness/irritation in fragile skin if exudate remains in contact too long Avoid contact with electrodes or conductive gels (EEG/ECG) May cause warming during MRI scans Use caution in patients with: Hepatic or renal impairment G6PD deficiency May alter systemic drug effects (e.g., oral hypoglycaemics, phenytoin) → monitor levels if necessary Product Information Leaflet
