Vitále Adhesive Foam Dressings are highly absorbent and provide an ideal moist environment for healing. They are soft and flexible dressings that are very comfortable on fragile skin, and have a long wear time of up to seven days. These dressings are indicated for the treatment of moderate to heavy exudating wounds, and assist in protecting the wound, preventing bacterial contamination and maceration.
There are two layers, an absorbent foam that absorbs and retains exudates, and a waterproof yet vapor permeable film to provide protection. They feature a waterproof film border with non-allergenic adhesive to adhere the dressing in place. The breathable film also allows excess gases to escape to allow moisture absorption.
Vitále Adhesive Foam Dressings are sterilized by radiation and must not be resterilized.
Features & Benefits
- Highly Absorbent: The foam layer efficiently absorbs and retains exudate, maintaining an optimal moist wound environment.
- Moisture and Bacteria Barrier: The waterproof, vapor-permeable film protects the wound from external contaminants while allowing excess moisture vapor to escape, reducing the risk of maceration.
- Non-Allergenic Adhesive: The adhesive border securely holds the dressing in place without irritating the skin, ensuring patient comfort.
- Flexible and Comfortable: The soft, flexible construction conforms to body contours, providing a comfortable fit even on fragile skin.
- Long Wear Time: Can be worn for up to seven days, reducing the frequency of dressing changes and enhancing convenience for both patients and caregivers.
How To Apply
- Clean and rinse the wound, using saline or appropriate wound cleanser.
- Remove the release paper exposing the patient contact layer, using sterile technique.
- Place the Vitále Adhesive Foam Dressing on the moist wound. The foam contact layer should cover the wound bed. If the adhesive version is used, the border should be adhered to peri-wound tissue. Do not stretch the dressing while applying.
- Change dressing as directed, when the foam is saturated, or at least every 7 days.
