Proximel Non-Bordered silicone foam dressings feature a unique three-layer design that promotes healing by quickly and effectively managing wound exudate while reducing and redistributing pressure at the injury site. This dressing is a versatile choice for use with moderate and light exudating wounds under compression.
Benefits:
- Can be worn for up to seven days.
- Create a moist environment for wound healing.
- It won't leak or loosen when lifted or repositioned.
- Prevent tissue from growing into the dressing, thanks to the perforated texture.
- Lessen irritation and pain during removal and help with reducing potential complications.
Features:
- Silicone adhesive is gentle on patient's skin to reduce irritation and pain, enabling the dressing to be changed without stripping epidermal cells
- Unique tapered edge allows dressing to lay smooth around wound edges
- Can be lifted or repositioned without adherence failure
- Dressing core supports fast absorption and helps minimize maceration risk
- High breathability (MVTR) supports good moisture balance
- Waterproof, bacteria proof and air-permeable
How it works:
Proximel Non-Border Silicone Foam Dressing absorb exudate and evenly distribute pressure at the wound site through a three-layer system:
- Silicone wound contact layer: unique silicone oil and perforation technology come in direct contact with the wound, allowing for straightforward application, and won't stick to the wound, thus providing nearly painless, atraumatic removal. Once applied, it allows the exudate to quickly migrate to the layers above for fast absorption.
- Absorbent polyurethane foam: cushioning protection that provides additional comfort while offering great fluid handling capabilities.
- Protective backing: smooth and comfortable material that is waterproof and a barrier to bacteria while promoting high moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR).
How to use:
- Clean and dry the wound area per protocol prior to application.
- Remove the release films and apply the adherent side to the wound. Do not stretch.
- The dressing should overlap the dry surrounding skin by at least .4 to .8 inches (1-2cm).
- Dressing stays in place during wrapping or when requiring secondary fixation.
- The frequency of replacing the dressing depends on the patient's condition and exudate level. Wear time is no more than 7 days.
When to use:
- Pressure ulcers
- Leg and foot ulcers
- Traumatic wounds
- Surgical wounds
- Donor sites
- Skin tears
- First- and second-degree burns
- Necrotic wounds, when used in combination with a wound gel
