Cure-Aid® Lipo: Adhesive bandages for minor wounds. Lipo-Colloid dressings are absorbent non-adherent wound dressings. They are composed of gelling non-adherent Lipo-colloid wound contact layer, comprising polyester mesh impregnated with superabsorbent powder, soft paraffin and cohesion polymers. The Lipo-colloid wound contact layer is laminated to absorbent Non-woven fluff.

1- Antimicrobial:

• Due to the presence of iodine, Cure-Aid POVI has a strong antimicrobial activity, so its ideal for protecting the wound, even if infected.
• PVP-Iodine is not resisted nor tolerated by most of microorganisms.

2- Safe:

Unlike other iodine impregnated gauze dressings available in the market, Cure-Aid POVI is non-cytotoxic, non-irritant and non-sensitizing,

Cure-Aid POVI is specifically designed to allow controlled amounts of iodine to reach the wound bed to prevent cytotoxicity.

3- Absorbent:

Cure-Aid POVI has advantage over non adherent iodine impregnated gauze in the market that it does not require secondary absorbent dressing because it contains absorbent felt laminated to the iodine containing layer.

4- Non adherent:

The presence of the PEG based ointment together with PE net as a wound contact layer renders the dressing non adherent, so it can be easily removed without pain or trauma.

Used as primary dressings to cover minor wounds to absorb any exudates and provide moist environment in favour of healing process.

1. Don’t use in case of sensitivity to any of the product ingredients.
2. The product is sterile, don’t use if the pouch is damaged.
3. The product is non-occlusive, so it could be used over infected wounds under medical supervision, and the dressing must be changed daily.
4. The product must be stored flat, protected from heat, moisture and direct light.

1. Paraffinic components have non polar fatty nature, so they do not adhere with the polar protenaceous exudates.
2. Hydrocolloid particles absorb exudates and turn to gel which provides optimum moist environment that enhances wound healing. Furthermore, it aids non adherence  due to synergestic action between gel and paraffinic components.
3. The polyester net allows the passage of exudates to be absorbed by the absorbent layer, so excess exudates do not have time to dry at the wound bed.
