CAVI-CARE^◊ Cavity Foam Dressing

CAVI-CARE^◊ conforming foam dressing has been designed to provide a regime to treat moist, low-exuding granulating cavity wounds.  The two liquid components (A and B) are mixed together and poured into the moist cavity wound where they form a white foam which conforms to the contours of the wound.

• Fits all wound shapes
• Helps create and maintain a moist wound environment
• Prevents premature wound closure
• Provides patient comfort
• Economical and convenient

Fits All Wound Shapes
CAVI-CARE^◊ dressing expands and cures within the cavity wound making it the only dressing that conforms exactly to the wound, including irregularly shaped wounds.  It is a three-dimensional dressing that forms a stent in the wound cavity.

Maintains a Moist Wound Environment
The distinctive method of producing CAVI-CARE^◊ conforming foam wound dressing in situ generates a controlled cellular structure which helps to create a moist wound environment.

Prevents Premature Wound Closure
The unique ability of CAVI-CARE^◊ to conform to the exact wound contours allows the wound to remain open and thereby prevents premature wound closure.

Provides Patient Comfort
The soft and resilient nature of CAVI-CARE^◊ combined with the exact conformity of the dressing provides added comfort and convenience for the patient.  CAVI-CARE^◊ is less traumatic to the wound than conventional gauze packing.

Economical and Convenient
CAVI-CARE^◊ can be removed, cleansed, and replaced in the wound.  Alternatively, a new dressing can be made on a regular basis.

• CAVI-CARE^◊ is indicated as a dressing for moist, low exuding granulating cavity wounds.
• CAVI-CARE^◊ can also be used as a post operative support foam.

Contraindications:

• CAVI-CARE^◊ should not be used in wounds which have tunnels, sinuses or deep fistulae
• CAVI-CARE^◊ should not be used in wounds which are 'dry'
• CAVI-CARE^◊ should not be used in mucous membranes, including eyes and nose.

Precautions:

• For external use only
• Use gloves when preparing the dressing
• Avoid contact with the eyes or with clothing

As a dressing for moist low exuding granulating wounds

• CAVI-CARE^◊ should only be used in wounds that are open and well-shaped with all tracts and pockets widely exposed
• Normal wound care – such as removal of slough and necrotic tissue and treatment of clinically infected wounds is still required with the use of CAVI-CARE^◊.

As a post operative support foam

• Coat the edges of the surgical site with petroleum jelly, white soft paraffin or apply a Tulle Gras dressing (i.e. JELONET^◊) to prevent adherence.
