Description
Product Info
ESPUMA® Ag Sealed Edges is made of soft, thick and elastic polyurethane foam, sandwiched between an outermost breathable polyurethane film and wound contacting polyethylene silver net, to prevent colonization on the surface of wound and to provide a clean environment during wound healing. The edges of the outermost and the innermost layers are sealed together with a unique technique to prevent leakage when foam is saturated with exudates and upon compression.
The three layers of the dressing work together to ensure presence of moist environment at the wound site, high absorption capacity and longer wear time without maceration.
The sealed edges of the dressing allow longer wear time without risk of maceration of the skin surrounding the wound, because exudates cannot leak laterally even when foam is saturated with exudates or
compressed under a compression therapy.
Reduces frequency of dressing change
The wound contacting silver net acts as antimicrobial barrier to prevent colonization on the dressing surface, thus it provides more hygienic environment especially in case of wounds at high risk of infection
The outermost polyurethane film is highly breathable to allow absorbed exudates to evaporate. This increases the fluid handling capacity of foam in total.
ESPUMA® Ag Sealed Edges 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.
Do not use with oxidizing agents as hypochlorite solutions or hydrogen peroxide solutions, as these can breakdown the absorbent hydrocellular component of the dressing.
Due to presence of antimicrobial silver ions, the experience with neonates / small babies is limited.
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.
