Description
Crafted by Hartmann, the Zetuvit Plus Silicone Border is an advanced wound care solution designed to manage moderately to heavily exuding wounds. This sterile, single-use dressing is ideal for both acute and chronic wound management in adults, providing healthcare professionals with a reliable and versatile option.
Key Features
-
Silicone Adhesive Border: The dressing features a silicone-coated contact layer and border, allowing for easy application, repositioning, and nearly painless removal. This design minimizes trauma to the wound site during dressing changes.
-
Superabsorbent Core: Composed of cellulose and superabsorbent polymer (SAP), the core effectively absorbs and retains exudate, maintaining an optimal wound microclimate while preventing leakage and odor.
-
Waterproof and Breathable Backing: The dressing includes a film backing that is both waterproof and breathable, with green water-repellent strikethrough protection. This ensures that the wound remains protected from external moisture while allowing airflow.
-
Hydrophilic Layer: Facilitates fast exudate transfer, enhancing the dressing's ability to manage wound fluid efficiently.
Application and Use
Zetuvit Plus Silicone Border is available in various shapes and sizes, including square, rectangular, and oval forms, in a distinctive white/green color. It is showerproof and can remain on the wound for up to five days, depending on the wound condition and clinical protocol. The dressing should be changed if exudate reaches the rim of the absorbent pad or as clinically indicated.
No additional fixation is required, although it can be used under compression bandages if needed. This makes it suitable for a wide range of clinical and homecare environments, allowing for combination with local antiseptics and secondary dressings if necessary.
Application Guidelines
- Preparation: Clean the wound and ensure the surrounding skin is dry.
- Sizing: Select a dressing size that overlaps the wound by 1–2 cm.
- Placement: Remove protective sheets and place the adherent side onto the wound, ensuring the green side faces away.
- Adjustment: Secure with additional fixation if needed, though typically not required.
- Maintenance: Do not cut the absorbent pad; only the transparent border may be trimmed if necessary.
