Optifoam Foam Dressing (Medline MSC1244)

Optifoam's waterproof, polyurethane backing

helps maintain an optimally moist wound

environment, helps prevent strike-through, and aids in the prevention of bacterial contamination of the wound. Backing's moisture vapor transmission rate adjusts depending on the fluid level in the wound. Foam pad has micropores for low adherence to wound surface, yet has a higher fluid-handling capacity than other brands. Foam island gently expands as it absorbs, keeping the dressing in contact with the wound surface for improved fluid handling.

Suresite Transparent Film Dressing 2.375*2.75” (Medline MSC2302)

Protect the skin, I.V. sites and surgical incisions using Suresite Transparent Film. Conforms tohard-to-dress areas, allows constant observation, and can be left in place for up to seven days. Suresite is waterproof and is also bacteria-resistant.

Medfix Non-Woven Tape 4” (Medline MSC4004)

The Medfix™ dressing retention sheet is a low-sensitivity adhesive tape. Soft and flexible, non-woven fabric is ideal for securing appliances or dressings. Porous structure is water resistant, and can cover an entire primary wound dressing conveniently in one application. Printed releaseliner makes it easy to measure desired length. S-curve release liner removes cleanly.

Stratasorb Composite Island Dressing has

four distinct layers designed to cover all stages of wound care. Layer 1, a non-adherent contact layer, protects the wound site and will not stick to granulating tissue. Layer 2, a soft pad, absorbs drainage. Layer 3, a non-woven backing with an adhesive border, securely holds the contact pad in place. Layer 4, a semi-occlusive, polyurethane film, helps deter external contaminants and maintain an optimal wound environment. Rectangular shape is designed for post-op applications.

Silvasorb harnesses the power of ionic silver,

releasing silver at a controlled level for broad spectrum antimicrobial action, without harming tissue cells. The ionic silver is suspended in the Silvasorb dressing to control its release over a period of up to seven days. It offers antimicrobial protection over a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi, including MRSA and VRE. Silvasorb kills microbes, but is completely biocompatible with the tissue cells of healing. In addition to controlling bioburden, another key factor in wound healing is managing moisture level. Silvasorb dressings are made of special polymer that absorbs more than five times its weight in fluid. That's not only more that all other silver dressings, it's several times more than calcium alginates or similar absorptive products. This allows Silvasorb to be left in place for longer periods of time compared to other wound dressings, even on heavily draining wounds. If the wound is dry, Silvasorb can help. The dressings are 20% water, giving then the unique ability to donate moisture when needed. Advanced fluid management helpsprovide a moist wound healing environment for the full spectrum of wounds. Silvasorb will not

dry out a wound and it will not macerate the

surrounding skin.

 

carboxylmethylcellulose (CMC) fiber combination interacts with wound exudate to form a gel, providing for a moist healing environment. Compared to previous Maxorb dressings, Maxorb Extra has greater loft and fluid handling capacity-25% more than before, and more than the other alginate

dressing on the market. The added presence

of CMC in Maxorb Extra improves the gelling and fluid-handling ability as well as adding improved strength. The pad will not wick exudate laterally, reducing the potential for delicate peril-wound tissue damage. The gelatinous pad may be easily lifted in one piecefrom the wound bed.
