Description

The Alprep Pad is an innovative two-in-one tool designed to enhance wound care through effective cleansing and debridement. Suitable for a wide range of wounds, including those that are non-infected, infected, or suspected to have biofilm, this pad simplifies wound preparation by removing barriers such as slough, biofilms, and non-viable tissue. Its use promotes the development of healthy granulation tissue, paving the way for improved healing outcomes.

Dual-Foam Structure

The Alprep Pad features a unique dual-foam structure:

• Dark Grey Foam: Loosens debris, slough, non-viable tissue, skin scales, biofilms, and microorganisms.
• Light Grey Foam: Absorbs and captures exudate, slough, and non-viable tissue.

This design ensures thorough cleaning and effective management of wound exudate.

Unique Design Features

• Slits Design: Enhances absorption and removal efficiency.
• Triangular Shape: Provides an ergonomic grip for comfortable handling and increased control during use.

These features make the Alprep Pad a practical tool for healthcare professionals and carers alike.

Packaging and Dimensions

The pad measures 7 x 9 x 3.2 cm and comes in packaging designed to hold and wet the pad with any preferred irrigation solution. This thoughtful design adds convenience and flexibility to its use.

Intended Use

The Alprep Pad is intended for mechanical debridement and cleansing of wound beds, wound edges, and periwound skin. It is designed for single use and should be disposed of according to local guidelines. For optimal healing, it is recommended to be used alongside a wound bed conforming dressing.

Usage Guidelines

Users are advised to read the label and instructions prior to application. The pad is designed for use under the supervision of a healthcare professional, making it suitable for healthcare providers, patients, and informal carers working under professional guidance.

Clinical Benefits

Clinically proven to accelerate wound healing, the Alprep Pad reduces infection risk and promotes healthy tissue development by effectively removing slough and biofilms. It has demonstrated significant benefits in improving hard-to-heal wounds, such as pressure ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers, making it a valuable asset in wound management.
