Vitale Hydroconductive Dressings are designed to deliver superior fluid management for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate. Made with a proprietary blend of highly absorbent fibers, these sterile dressings lift, hold, and transfer exudate away from the wound bed to maintain an ideal moist environment for healing. Their non-adherent design protects fragile granulating tissue during dressing changes, while gamma radiation sterilization ensures each dressing is safe and ready to use in both clinical and home care settings.
Features & Benefits:
- Highly Absorbent: Proprietary fiber blend efficiently lifts, holds, and transfers wound exudate.
- Multiple Fluid Management Mechanisms: Capillary, hydroconductive, and electrostatic action ensures effective moisture control while reducing the risk of maceration and bacterial contamination.
- Gentle on Healing Tissue: Non-adherent structure prevents trauma to delicate granulating tissue, minimizing patient discomfort during dressing changes.
- Sterile and Safe: Sterilized using gamma radiation for guaranteed sterility and patient safety.
- Versatile Application: Effective for acute and chronic wounds, including surgical wounds, venous ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, traumatic injuries, burns, and donor sites.
How To Apply
- Clean and rinse the wound in the usual manner.
- (Dressings) Place the Vitale Hydroconductive Dressing on the moist wound. If necessary, fold or cut to adjust to wound size; layers may be used for highly exuding wounds.
- (Ropes) Coil the rope gently into cavity wounds, leaving an end or "tail" for easy extraction.
- In case of slightly exuding wounds, moisten the dressing with physiological saline solution.
- Cover with a secondary dressing or bandage of choice.
- Change dressing every 1-3 days, when strike-through occurs, or at least every 7 days.
- When changing the dressing, remove the secondary dressing and gently remove the entire dressing. Flush if necessary.
