Experience superior absorption and comfort with Hartmann Zetuvit Plus Super Absorbent Dressing, a non-bordered, non-adhesive wound care solution designed to handle high levels of exudate. This Absorbant square dressing is tailored for those seeking a reliable, comfortable, and efficient way to manage wounds. The unique construction includes a diffusion layer for rapid and uniform exudate distribution into the superabsorbent core, facilitating optimal fluid management. Moreover, the water-repellent backing ensures protection of clothing and bedding from moisture. With Hartmann Zetuvit Plus, patients enjoy high comfort levels due to the dressing's exceptional padding properties. The soft, hydrophilic nonwoven layer in contact with the wound prevents the dressing from adhering to the wound, making dressing changes gentle and less distressing. The innovative absorbent core of cellulose fluff mixed with polyacrylate polymers retains liquid effectively. Enclosing this, a thin nonwoven fabric disperses the liquid evenly across the dressing. Zetuvit Plus is a combined superabsorbent dressing which consists of four layers of different materials. On the wound side, the product features a soft, white, hydrophilic nonwoven (viscose and polyamide). The inner dressing core consists of soft cellulose fluff blended with liquid-retaining polyacrylate polymers. This absorbent core is enclosed in a thin nonwoven fabric that evenly distributes the liquid. On the side facing away from the wound, the product features a green layer of polypropylene nonwoven, which is water-repellent but permeable to air and allows for gas exchange.

Features:

• Four-layer structure for optimized wound care.
• High absorption capacity for effective exudate control.
• Provides quick and even distribution of wound exudate.
• Superabsorbent core for exceptional fluid management.
• Non-adherent to protect the wound surface during removal.
• Water repellent back sheet to protect against leakage and outer contamination.
• Suitable for use under compression wraps or alongside fixation tapes and bandages.

How to apply:

• Remove the two protective sheets. Place the adherent side of the dressing onto the wound, so that the green side faces away from the wound.
• Choose a suitable dressing size for the wound, ensuring that the central pad exceeds the edges of the wound by approximately 0.4 to 0.8 inches (1-2 cm). Do not cut the absorbent green pad. The transparent border can be cut in order to adapt the dressing e.g. to a concave form.
• Before applying the dressing, after rinsing the wound, make sure that the surrounding skin is dry by using swabs to ensure that the dressing adheres.
• Remove the two protective sheets. Place the adherent side of the dressing onto the wound, so that the green side faces away from the wound.
• Press down the adhesive edges firmly and avoid wrinkles in the border to ensure the dressing stays securely in place.
• No additional fixation is required, if indicated, compression bandages can be applied as instructed by a clinician.
• The dressing can remain on the wound for up to 7 days depending on the condition of the wound and the established clinical protocol.
• The dressing must be changed if clinically indicated or when exudate reaches the rim of the absorbent pad.

Intended purpose: Single use sterile superabsorbent dressing for long-term treatment of injured skin, acute and chronic, with moderate to high levels of exudate. It is used on adults only, by healthcare professionals in clinical or homecare environments. It can be combined with local antiseptics, primary and secondary dressings and used under compression bandages.

Indications: Zetuvit Plus is suitable for the treatment of superficial, moderately to severely exuding wounds: acute wounds (traumatic wounds, post-operative wounds, lymphatic wounds) and chronic wounds (decubitus/pressure sores, venous, arterial or mixed leg ulcers, tumour wounds). Zetuvit Plus can be used under compression bandages.

Contraindications: Do not use Zetuvit Plus on dry wounds or on exposed bones, muscles or tendons. Do not use Zetuvit Plus in case of hypersensitivity to any of its components

Precautions:

• Do not cut the dressing.
• Medical assessment of the wound condition and the causes of wound-healing impairment is necessary before treating wounds with an impaired healing tendency. Treatment with Zetuvit Plus cannot replace a causal treatment of the wound-healing impairment. If there are clinical signs of infection, the infection needs to be controlled with appropriate treatment before this dressing can be used.
• For dressings which are packed in paper-paper peel packs: The sealed seam of the peel pack contains natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions.
