Anti Shear Wound Dressing
View list of all products
Description
EXU-DRY◊ is a one-piece wound dressing made up of multi-layers. EXU-DRY◊ upper extremity dressings are designed to conform readily and comfortably to the contours of the upper extremities.
Features
- Outer Layer – High density polyethylene.
- Inner Layers – Highly absorbent rayon/cellulose blend.
- Anti Shear Layer – High density polyethylene.
- Wound Contact Layer – High density polyethylene.
Benefits
- EXU-DRY◊ is a unique one-piece wound dressing designed to help reduce pain and trauma, save nursing time and lower total dressing costs. EXU-DRY◊ replaces non-adherent dressings, gauze and abdominal pads.
- Non-adherent to the wound, EXU-DRY◊ is more comfortable for patients during and between dressing changes. EXU-DRY◊'s Anti Shear Layer reduces friction and shearing and helps protect the wound. EXU-DRY◊'s one-piece multi-layer sealed construction eliminates frayed edges, loose threads and linting. EXU-DRY◊ will not disturb new granulation tissue thereby supporting the healing process.
- Highly absorbent, EXU-DRY◊ reduces the risk of maceration and irritation to the wound and surrounding tissue. EXU-DRY◊ wicks away drainage from the wound into the entire dressing, reducing the frequency of dressing changes.
- Non-occlusive, soft and pliable, EXU-DRY◊ is available in a wide range of sizes and shapes to accommodate virtually any wound or body contour. Because EXU-DRY◊ is permeable and non-occlusive, it can be used as a wet or dry dressing on clean or contaminated wounds.
- EXU-DRY◊ is compatible with most topical agents, liquids and creams.
Indications
Under the care of a healthcare professional, EXU-DRY◊ dressings may be used in the management of superficial to full thickness wounds such as:
Ulcers (venous, arterial, diabetic)
Pressure sores
Donor Sites
Surgical incisions and excisions
Skin grafts
Bio-engineered skin substitutes
Burns
Draining wounds
Moist skin desquamation
Fungating neoplasms
Chemotherapy extravasation
Kaposi's sarcoma
Lymphoedema
Graft Vs Host Disease
Dermatological wounds
Skin sloughing disorders
Contraindications / Precautions
- During the body's normal healing process, unnecessary material is removed from the wound which will make the wound appear larger after the first few dressing changes. If the wound continues to get larger after the first few dressing changes, consult an appropriate healthcare professional.
- Should any signs of irritation (redness, swelling, increased burning sensation), maceration (over-hydration of the skin), hyper-granulation (excess tissue) or sensitivity (allergic reactions) appear, discontinue use and consult an appropriate healthcare professional.
