Description

Biatain IBU Non-Adhesive by Coloplast is an innovative wound care solution designed to manage both exudate and pain effectively. This dressing is crafted from a soft, flexible polyurethane foam, making it highly absorbent and comfortable for patients with sensitive or fragile skin.

Key Features

• Ibuprofen Integration: Each dressing contains ibuprofen (0.5 mg/cm²) evenly distributed throughout the foam. This allows for a sustained, localized release of ibuprofen in the presence of wound exudate, providing targeted pain relief directly at the wound site.
• Non-Adhesive Design: Ideal for those with delicate skin, ensuring easy application and removal without causing additional trauma.
• 3D Foam Structure: The unique structure conforms closely to the wound bed, enhancing absorption and minimizing issues such as leakage and maceration.
• Bevelled Edges: These reduce pressure marks and improve overall comfort for the patient.

Benefits

Biatain IBU Non-Adhesive creates an optimal moist wound healing environment. Its semi-permeable, waterproof, and bacterial barrier film backing protects the wound while allowing for breathability. The dressing can be worn for up to 7 days, depending on the level of exudate and clinical needs, offering convenience and reducing the frequency of dressing changes.

Indications for Use

This dressing is suitable for a variety of painful, exuding wounds, both acute and chronic, including:

• Second-degree burns
• Donor sites
• Post-operative wounds
• Leg ulcers
• Pressure ulcers
• Non-infected diabetic foot ulcers

It is also compatible with compression therapy and can be tailored to fit specific wound areas by cutting the dressing to size.

Precautions

Biatain IBU Non-Adhesive should not be used in patients with known allergies to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, nor on untreated infected wounds. It is not recommended for use during pregnancy or in children under 12 unless advised by a healthcare professional. The dressing should be removed before certain medical procedures and should not be used with oxidizing solutions.

Available Sizes

The dressing is available in various sizes, ranging from 5 x 7 cm to 20 x 20 cm, providing versatility to meet different wound care needs.

Application Instructions

For optimal results, the dressing should be applied to a clean wound, following infection control guidelines. It may require a secondary dressing for secure placement and should be changed when necessary, based on exudate levels or clinical indications.

Biatain IBU Non-Adhesive represents a comprehensive approach to wound management, combining effective pain relief with superior absorption, ultimately supporting better healing outcomes.
