Description
Primapore Dressings by Smith & Nephew offer an effective solution for managing and protecting various wound types. These dressings are particularly suitable for post-operative wounds, minor cuts, abrasions, lacerations, punctures, and sutured wounds. Designed with a soft, conformable, and breathable non-woven backing, they ensure comfort while providing excellent wound care.
Key Features
- Highly Absorbent Pad: Each dressing includes a low-adherent pad that efficiently absorbs exudate, minimizing strike-through and protecting the wound from trauma.
- Breathable Backing: The non-woven backing allows moisture vapor to pass through, reducing the risk of skin maceration.
- Low-Adherent Contact Layer: Minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes by not sticking to the wound.
- Secure Adhesion: Equipped with a low-allergy acrylic adhesive, suitable for patients with latex allergies, ensuring secure fixation.
- Water-Resistant: Protects the wound from external moisture.
Design Benefits
- Flexible and Conformable: Adapts to body contours, making it ideal for use on elbows, knees, shoulders, and underarms.
- Comfortable Application: Rounded corners reduce the risk of lifting or snagging, while slit protector paper allows for easy application.
- Non-Linting Material: Remains intact even when saturated, ensuring cleanliness.
Usage Instructions
- Clean and dry the wound and surrounding skin.
- Apply the dressing without touching the absorbent pad.
- Anchor one side and smooth the adhesive border without stretching.
- Change the dressing daily or as required.
Precautions
- Not intended for use on infected wounds.
- Discontinue use if exudate is excessive or if the wound has healed.
- Seek medical advice for serious wounds or if irritation occurs.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Dispose of used dressings according to local guidelines. Primapore Dressings are available in various sizes and pack quantities, providing a versatile and economical wound care solution for both personal and professional healthcare settings.
