Suggested Applications

• Post-operative wounds
• Acute wounds such as abrasions and lacerations
• Light-to-moderately-draining chronic wounds
• Superficial and partial-thickness burns
• I.V. catheter sites (peripheral and central lines)
• To secure or cover devices
• Secondary dressing applications:
• Over hydrogels, alginates, and gauze

Benefits

• Convenient adhesive presentation
  The wound contact layer of ALLEVYN Adhesive is coated with a low allergy adhesive which is designed to adhere well to intact skin, but not to wounds. The adhesive is non-irritating.  
• Highly absorbent
  In-vitro studies and clinical experience demonstrate that ALLEVYN Adhesive dressings can stay in place for up to seven days. This capacity results from a combination of properties:
  The perforated wound contact layer allows even viscous exudate to pass into the dressing.
  The hydrocellular core of the dressing absorbs and holds liquid in its microscopic structure.
  The breathable outer surface of the dressing allows excess moisture to evaporate away from the dressing.
  The result is the formation of a wound environment, which allows wound closure to progress without the need for frequent dressing changes.
• Moist Wound Environment
  ALLEVYN Adhesive creates and maintains a moist wound healing environment at the wound surface, helping prevent eschar formation.  
• Profiled dressing edges
  ALLEVYN Adhesive has a profiled cross-section, narrowing to micro-thin edges which helps ensure the dressing remains securely in place and prevents accidental removal by friction between the dressing and clothes and bedding.  
• Waterproof/Aids in the prevention of bacterial contaminationCushioned comfort
  ALLEVYN Adhesive dressings are soft and cushioning, giving excellent patient comfort and protection.

• Unique quadrilobe shape with a wide border designed to fit the contours of the human body securely1-2 and allows patients to shower1-3
• The masking layer minimizes the visual impact of strikethrough4, providing the patient with confidence that their dressing may not attract the negative attention of others
• Excellent fluid locking under pressure5 (in-vitro)
• Peace of mind leakage prevention5 for the patient 
  
• Common wound odor absorption when tested (in-vitro) on representative compounds6
• Multi-layered design provides cushioning and helps to redistribute pressure7 (in-vitro)
• Silicone wound contact layer minimizes trauma to the wound and pain to the patient during dressing changes8 while allowing the dressing to be repositoned9
• Helpful change indicator helps avoid unnecessary dressing change and waste

Benefits

Soothes and protects the wound and allows free passage of viscous exudate
JELONET is soothing and low-adherent and allows the wound to drain freely into an absorbent secondary dressing.

Maintains shape, resists fraying
JELONET is a sterile paraffin tulle gras dressing made from open weave gauze. The gauze has interlocking threads which minimise fraying when the dressing is cut to shape.

Can be combined with topical medication of choice
JELONET is not medicated and so is ideal for use with the topical antiseptic or antibiotic of choice.

Benefits

Waterproof
The OPSITE Post-Op film is impermeable to water and body fluids, allowing the patient to bathe and shower without changing dressings.

Bacterial Barrier
The OPSITE Post-Op film provides a bacterial barrier, helping to reduce the risk of secondary infection.

Breathable
High moisture vapour permeability allows the wound and the skin around the wound to breathe, reducing the risk of maceration. The low allergy adhesive reduces the risk of irritation whilst ensuring the dressing stays in place even over awkward contours.

Transparent Film
The clear film allows the user to monitor the level of fluid and check for infection without removing the dressing. Therefore the dressing can be used for a maximum length of time.

Absorbent, Low-adherent Pad
The thick pad is highly absorbent, minimising the number of dressing changes whilst protecting the wound from further injury. The low-adherent pad surface leaves the wound site clean and comfortable, reducing the pain when changing the dressing.

Conformable
OPSITE Post-Op is highly conformable, even over the most awkward body contours. Its extensibility does not restrict movement, ensuring that it is comfortable for the patient. The unique dressing carrier keeps the film firm, allowing easy application.

Benefits

Faster, safer, less painful wound healing
OPSITE FLEXIGRID has set the standard in moist wound healing by retaining the natural wound exudate which contains vital nutrients for growing cells, and white blood cells to prevent infection. OPSITE FLEXIGRID provides an environment for safer and less painful wound healing. The high moisture vapour permeability allows excess exudate to evaporate, preventing skin maceration.

Superior film with acrylic adhesive
The OPSITE FLEXIGRID film is highly extensible and conformable, which combined with its high moisture vapour permeability, means the dressing can be left in place for up to 14 days. This minimises interference at the wound site and reduces the amount of nursing time required.

Waterproof
OPSITE FLEXIGRID is impermeable to water and body fluids, protecting the skin underneath and allowing the patient to bathe without changing dressings. It also aids in the prevention of bacterial contamination.

Simple, effective application technique
OPSITE FLEXIGRID provides a simple and effective application system. The flexible carrier enables single handed application allowing the dressing to conform to the contours of the body. Its transparency enables accurate positioning over the wound site.

Adaptable to Awkward Areas
OPSITE FLEXIGRID has been designed to be adaptable for use on all areas of the body. It can be easily cut into strips or shapes for application to awkward areas such as heels, elbows and knees.

Unique Wound Management Grid
OPSITE FLEXIGRID incorporates a unique wound measurement device which allows simple but accurate assessments of the healing process to be made. After tracing the edges of the wound, the FLEXIGRID carrier can be removed and stored in the patient’s notes.

Benefits

OPSITE Film
The film is waterproof and a barrier to bacteria. Its high moisture vapour permeability allows the skin to breathe. The acrylic adhesive minimises the risk of skin damage on removal, especially after long periods of wear.

Adaptable to awkward areas
OPSITE FLEXIFIX has been designed to allow easy application of the film to awkward areas of the body and over dressings and tubes. The film is highly conformable and extensible to increase patient comfort.

Unique Roll System
The unique and novel roll format enables rapid and economical use of the OPSITE film to create comfortable, waterproof fixation for dressings.

Benefits

Permeable to moisture vapour and air
OPSITE Spray is permeable to moisture vapour and air, allowing the surrounding skin to breathe, so preventing maceration.

Water resistant
The skin area can be bathed easily without affecting the dressing or the wound.

Conformable and elastic
The film stays intact over skin areas that are flexible or mobile such as knuckles.

Quick and Easy to apply

Benefits

INTRASITE Gel’s partially hydrated formulation allows the gel to donate moisture to drier environments and absorb in wetter environments, creating a moist wound management environment.  

• Debriding action
  INTRASITE Gel rehydrates necrotic tissue and, by its gentle yet effective action, aids debridement.  
• Desloughing action
  INTRASITE Gel absorbs slough and exudate without damaging fragile granulation tissue.  
• Creates a moist wound healing environment
  INTRASITE Gel increases moisture content at the wound surface, helping prevent eschar formation. By keeping fragile granulation tissue moist and allowing the migration of epithelializing cells, INTRASITE Gel helps to create an optimal moist wound management environment.  
• Gentle action
  Effective yet gentle action leaves delicate granulation tissue undisturbed helping to reduce trauma.  
• Non-adherent
