Description
Zetuvit® Plus, crafted by Paul Hartmann, is a highly effective solution for managing wounds with moderate to heavy exudate. This sterile, superabsorbent dressing is designed to cater to both acute and chronic wounds, making it suitable for a variety of conditions such as post-operative wounds, arterial leg ulcers, pressure sores, and diabetic foot ulcers.
Key Features
- Advanced Absorption: The dressing's four-layer construction ensures superior absorption and retention of wound exudate, minimizing the risk of maceration and protecting clothing and bedding from leakage.
- Layered Design:
- Wound Contact Layer: A soft, hydrophilic nonwoven material that sits gently on the wound.
- Absorbent Core: Composed of cellulose fluff and superabsorbent polyacrylate polymers for rapid exudate binding.
- Distribution Layer: Evenly disperses liquid throughout the dressing.
- Backing Layer: A green, water-repellent yet air-permeable layer that allows gas exchange while facing away from the wound.
- Non-Adhesive: Requires securement with tape, bandages, or compression wraps, providing flexibility in application.
- Comfort and Protection: Offers excellent padding, conforms to the body, and features a water-repellent outer layer to guard against contamination.
Versatility
Zetuvit® Plus can be effectively used under compression therapy and is suitable for both clinical and homecare environments. It can be combined with local antiseptics and secondary dressings, enhancing its adaptability in various care settings.
Application Guidelines
- Placement: The white side should be placed on the wound with the green layer facing outward.
- Securement: Use adhesive tape or bandages as needed.
- Change Indicators: Replace the dressing when exudate approaches the edges or becomes visible through the green layer.
