Description

Biatain® IBU Non-Adhesive by Coloplast is an innovative wound dressing designed to enhance healing while providing pain relief. This dressing is crafted from a highly absorbent polyurethane foam, uniquely structured in 3D to conform closely to the wound bed. It integrates 0.5 mg/cm² of ibuprofen evenly throughout the foam, ensuring a consistent release of the medication directly into the wound in the presence of exudate.

Key Features

• Moist Wound Healing: The dressing maintains a moist environment conducive to healing while managing exudate effectively.
• Pain Management: Offers localized pain relief with no detectable systemic ibuprofen levels, minimizing side effects.
• Extended Wear Time: Provides up to 7 days of pain relief, aligning ibuprofen release with exudate levels.

Design and Comfort

• Non-Adhesive Surface: Ideal for fragile or sensitive skin, preventing adherence to the wound or surrounding area.
• Bevelled Edges: Reduces pressure marks and enhances comfort.
• Protective Backing: Features a semi-permeable, waterproof film that acts as a barrier against bacteria.

Indications

Biatain® IBU Non-Adhesive is suitable for managing low- to highly exuding, painful wounds. It is effective for both acute wounds, such as second-degree burns and post-operative wounds, and chronic wounds, including leg ulcers and pressure ulcers. The dressing can be used alongside compression therapy and is particularly beneficial for wounds with fragile peri-wound skin.

Precautions

• Allergy Considerations: Not recommended for individuals sensitive to ibuprofen, aspirin, or NSAIDs.
• Usage Restrictions: Should not be used on untreated infected wounds or during certain medical procedures like MRI.
• Age and Pregnancy: Consult a doctor before use in children under 12 or during pregnancy.
