Smith & Nephew Durafiber Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing, 15cm x 15cm

Smith & Nephew Durafiber Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing

Durafiber Wound dressing is a soft sterile non-woven pad or ribbon dressing composed of cellulose ethyl sulphonate fibers. This highly absorbent and conformable dressing is designed to rapidly form a clear, cool gel on contact with wound fluid. This gel absorbs excess fluid, locks exudate away from the wound, provides a moist environment to support autolytic debridement and conforms intimately to the wound bed. The high integral wet strength of it facilitates easy one-piece removal from moist wound beds and cavity wounds; minimizing trauma to the wound and pain to the patient on removal.

Features:

Designed to be left in place for up to seven days.
Indications: For the management of chronic and acute, full thickness, partial thickness, or shallow granulating exuding wounds like leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, wounds left to heal by secondary intent, donor sites, tunneling and fistulae wounds, partial thickness burns, traumatic wounds, and wounds that are prone to bleeding such as wounds that have been surgically or mechanically debrided.
Precautions: It is not intended to be used as a surgical sponge in heavily bleeding wounds, if reddening or sensitisation occurs discontinue use.
