Description
Primapore Dressings by Smith & Nephew are expertly crafted to provide optimal care for a variety of wound types, including post-operative wounds, cuts, lacerations, and abrasions. These dressings are designed with a focus on comfort and protection, ensuring effective wound management for patients.
Key Features
-
Highly Absorbent Pad: Each dressing features a highly absorbent pad that effectively manages blood and exudate, keeping the wound clean and reducing the need for frequent changes.
-
Low-Adherent Contact Layer: The polyester wound contact layer is designed to minimize pain and trauma during dressing changes, making it gentle on the skin.
-
Breathable and Conformable: The non-woven top layer is both soft and breathable, allowing the dressing to conform to body contours. This makes it ideal for use on joints and awkward areas such as elbows, knees, and shoulders.
-
Secure Adhesion: Equipped with a low-allergy, latex-free acrylic adhesive, the dressing stays securely in place while minimizing the risk of skin irritation. Rounded corners help prevent lifting or snagging.
Application Benefits
-
Water-Resistant and Vapor Permeable: The dressings are water-resistant and moisture vapor permeable, preventing moisture build-up and promoting a healthy healing environment.
-
Easy Application and Removal: Designed for ease of use, each dressing comes with slit protector paper to facilitate aseptic technique during application. This ensures a clean and quick application process.
