Product Info
ESPUMA® Ag Non-Adhesive is a trilaminate construction made of soft, thick and elastic polyurethane foam sandwiched between an outer most breathable polyurethane film and wound contacting polyethylene net containing silver. The silver net acts as antimicrobial barrier which prevents colonization on the dressing, thus it increases wear time and provides a prophylactic effect against infection especially in case of wounds at high risk of infection.
Polyurethane foam provides a cushioning effect and high absorption capacity up to 14 g/g. This provides dry but moist environment which is in favour of all wound healing stages specially the granulation and the epithelialisation phase, so it accelerates wound healing.
The polyurethane film outermost layer is highly breathable, up to 5000 g/m2/24hr MVTR. This allows evaporation of wound exudates absorbed by foam, thus the total fluid uptake and fluid handling capacity of the dressing in total is increased. It is also bacteria proof, virus proof and waterproof.
The silver net prevents colonization of bacteria over the dressing, so it increases the wear time and decreases frequency of changing the dressing. It provides both hygienic and economic benefits.
ESPUMA® Ag Non-Adhesive can be used for the following types of wounds and ulcers with moderate to heavy drainage/exudation rate:
Pressure ulcers stage II and superficial stage III.
Partial and full thickness diabetic foot ulcers.
Venous insufficiency leg ulcers.
Partial and full thickness arterial ulcers.
Partial thickness burns and abrasions.
Open surgical wounds.
Skin tears.
ESPUMA® Ag Non-Adhesive offer extra prophylactic effect against infection in case of wounds at high risk of infection.
ESPUMA® Ag Non-Adhesive should not be applied onto dry wounds or necrotic tissues.
ESPUMA® Ag Non-Adhesive should not be used in wounds that extended to reach bones or muscles.
Due to the presence of antimicrobial silver ions, experience is limited with newly born, infants and during pregnancy.
1. Cleanse the wound in accordance with local clinical protocols.
2. Select an appropriate dressing size that overlaps the wound margin by at least two centimeters.
3. Remove the sterile dressing from the package using aseptic technique.
– For Non-adhesive variants:
1. Non-Adhesive variants can be cut to fit awkward areas. When used under compression therapy, the dressing must be cut to the size of
the wound.
2. Place the dressing on the wound site.
3. Secondary film dressing or conforming bandage should be used to secure the dressing in place.
– Dressing change and removal:
• Dressing change frequency will depend on patient condition as well as wound exudate level.
Change dressing when reached its maximum exudate management level or as instructed by a healthcare professional.
• To remove an adhesive dressing, loosen the adhesive film border before lifting the dressing away from the wound.
• To remove non-adhesive dressing, gently lift the corners of the dressing away from the wound.
• Cleanse the wound prior to application of new dressing.
