Description
The Multigate Interpose Lite Dressing 7.5x10cm is expertly crafted to provide gentle, trauma-free care for a variety of wound types. Designed for single use, this sterile dressing is ideal for superficial wounds, minor burns, and post-surgical sites, making it a versatile choice for healthcare settings such as hospitals, clinics, and home care.
Key Features
-
Non-Adherent Surface: The dressing's smooth, low-stick surface ensures minimal adherence to the wound bed, reducing pain and tissue damage during dressing changes. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals with fragile or sensitive skin.
-
High Absorbency: At the core of the dressing lies a highly absorbent layer made from 100% natural cotton. This layer effectively manages exudate by allowing wound fluid to pass through to a secondary dressing, thus maintaining an optimal healing environment.
-
Breathable Design: The breathable construction of the dressing helps maintain moisture balance while allowing airflow, promoting a conducive environment for wound healing.
Material and Construction
Each side of the dressing is covered with a medical-grade, high-density polyethylene film. This film, with its consistent porosity, prevents exudate strikethrough, ensuring cleanliness and efficacy. The flexibility and lightweight nature of the dressing make it suitable for use on delicate areas, including paediatric and post-surgical wounds.
