ESPUMA® Gentle Transfer is composed of thin polyurethane foam layer, but without polyurethane top sheet, so that the dressing can transfer exudates away from the wound into a secondary absorbent dressing.

• The wound contact layer is perforated soft silicone gel that allows painless and atraumatic removal and permits the passage of exudate to the absorbent foam layer.

• Comfortable: as the dressing is easy to remove and minimize trauma during dressing changes.
• Cushioning effect: as it acts as a barrier against irritation and constant pressure on the skin.
• Breathable: the semi-permeable backing allows moisture to escape.
• Prevents skin maceration: as the perforated silicone film allows free passage of wound exudate to the foam.

• High capacity of autolytic debridement and it is particularly useful in preventing dressing-related trauma especially in people with fragile skin.
• It’s indicated for a wide range of exuding wounds as: pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, skin graft, first and second degree burns.
• Can be used in combination with compression therapy.

• The dressing should not be used with oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite solution or
  hydrogen peroxide, as these agents can break down the absorbent polyurethane component of the dressing.
• The dressing should not be used on patients with a known sensitivity to silicone or polyurethane.

The interval between dressing changes will normally be determined by the degree of exudate produced but the dressing may be left undisturbed for several days on clean lightly exuding wounds.

Soft silicone dressings

are coated with a hydrophobic soft silicone layer that is tacky to touch. These dressings do not stick to the moist wound bed, but will adhere gently to the surrounding skin. They are designed to minimize trauma on removal and do not leave an adhesive residue on the skin.

Foam dressings

are made from a polyurethane base and are permeable to both gases and water vapor. Their hydrophilic properties allow high absorptive properties while they also provide thermal insulation.
