Description
PRIMAPORE by Smith & Nephew is a versatile wound dressing designed to provide effective protection and comfort for various types of wounds, including cuts, grazes, abrasions, lacerations, puncture sites, and post-operative wounds. Its design ensures adaptability to different body contours, making it suitable for use on challenging areas such as elbows and knees.
Key Features
- Highly Absorbent Pad: The dressing includes a thick, absorbent pad that manages blood and exudate efficiently, offering additional protection and preventing strike-through.
- Non-Adherent Contact Layer: A gentle polyester layer minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes, ensuring a low-adherent contact with the wound.
- Breathable Top Layer: The non-woven top layer allows moisture vapor to pass through, reducing moisture build-up and enhancing comfort.
- Flexible Material: The soft, non-woven material conforms to body contours without restricting movement.
- Low-Allergy Adhesive: The acrylic adhesive is evenly spread for secure fixation and is suitable for patients with latex allergies.
- Water-Resistant: Provides a barrier against external contaminants.
- Rounded Corners: Designed to reduce the risk of lifting or snagging, potentially decreasing the frequency of dressing changes.
- Protector Paper Slit: Facilitates easy application without touching the absorbent pad.
Instructions for Use
- Application: Clean and dry the wound before applying the dressing. Apply without stretching and remove carefully, especially on fragile or sensitive skin.
