It is important to have the right kind of dressing when dealing with a wound.
Moist wound dressings also provide a barrier against bacteria and absorb fluid.
A moist healing environment stimulates cell proliferation and encourages epithelial cells to migrate.
Maintains thermal temperature in wound.
Provides a barrier against microbes chemicals friction and fluid.
Alginate wound dressings will not only maintain moist wound environment but also absorb this exudate leaving proper environment for new tissue growth.
Select cover dressing based on volume of exudate and need for bacterial barrier note cover dressing also provides insulation deep or tunneled wounds that are wet.
Facilitates a moist wound environment.
Alginate wound dressings which are suitable for open wounds that have heavy fluid discharge or exudate.
Moisture retentive dressings also act as a barrier against bacteria and absorb excess wound fluid creating opportune conditions for healing.
However these wound dressings may not be suitable for open wounds with heavy exudate.
Can be used to reduce friction over bony prominences.
Our moisture retentive dressings also act as a barrier against bacteria and absorb excess wound fluid creating opportune conditions for healing.
Can act as blister roof and second skin.
The role of a wound dressing is to provide the right environment to enhance and promote wound healing.
Times but also promote faster healing reduce pain encourage vapor transmission promote autolytic debridement and also act as a bacterial barrier.
Bacterial barrier and protection against.
Before the theory of moist wound healing was developed dressings were used primarily to absorb fluid protect the wound from injury and limit exposure to infections.
It is also important to bear in mind that inappropriate use of dressings may lead to unwanted effects and serious complications as for instance when using an occlusive dressing on an infected wound tight dressings on a patient with peripheral vascular disease or even causing an allergic reaction not uncommonly because we may have forgotten to ask whether the patient has a known allergy.
Nupore is designed to enhance and promote wound healing creating a moist healing environment which stimulates cell proliferation and encourages epithelial cells to migrate.
Maintenance moist wound surface.
Moisture balanced or moisture retentive dressings also act as a barrier against bacteria and absorb excess wound fluid creating favorable conditions for healing 5 6 formerly wound dressings were primarily used to protect the wound from secondary infection by forming a barrier against bacteria and absorbing wound fluid.
Allows moisture vapour and gases to escape but is water resistant.
Need primary filler.
0 025 is effective against most bacteria and still noncytotoxic.
There are many types of dressings and it is important to understand how each dressing is used.
