Vitále Foam Dressings are highly absorbent and provide an ideal moist environment for healing. They are soft and flexible dressings that are very comfortable on fragile skin, and have a long wear time of up to seven days. These dressings are indicated for the treatment of moderate to heavy exudating wounds, and assist in protecting the wound, preventing bacterial contamination and maceration.
There are two layers, an absorbent foam that absorbs and retains exudates, and a waterproof yet vapor permeable film to provide protection (except 20463). The breathable film also allows excess gases to escape to allow moisture absorption. On style 20463 there is no waterproof film backing. Vitále Non Adhesive Foam Dressings are sterilized by radiation and must not be resterilized.
Features & Benefits
- Highly Absorbent: The foam layer efficiently absorbs and retains exudate, maintaining an optimal moist wound environment.
- Moisture and Bacteria Barrier: The waterproof, vapor-permeable film (on applicable models) protects the wound from externalcontaminants while allowing excess moisture vapor to escape, reducing the risk of maceration.
- Soft and Flexible: The dressings are designed to be gentle on fragile skin, providing a comfortable fit and reducing trauma duringdressing changes.
- Long Wear Time: Can be worn for up to seven days, reducing the frequency of dressing changes and enhancing convenience forboth patients and caregivers.
- Non-Adhesive: Ideal for patients with sensitive skin or those who are allergic to adhesives, ensuring a pain-free removal process.
