Vitale Silicone Super-Absorbent Dressings, 8" X 10"

Vitále Silicone Super-Absorbent Dressings are extremely absorbent and provide an ideal moist environment for wound healing. They are soft and conformable to fragile skin and are effective in minimizing pain and discomfort. Vitále Silicone Super-Absorbent Dressings are indicated for the treatment of light to heavily exudating wounds, and they assist in protecting the wound, preventing bacterial contamination and skin maceration.

Features & Benefits

• Highly Absorbent: The super-absorbent fiber pad can absorb many times its weight in exudate, keeping the wound environment moist for optimal healing.
• Non-Adherent Silicone Layer: Provides gentle adhesion to the wound and surrounding skin, allowing for painless removal and minimizing tissue trauma.
• Moisture and Bacteria Barrier: The waterproof, vapor-permeable outer film protects the wound from external contaminants while allowing moisture vapor to escape, reducing the risk of maceration.
• Flexible and Conforming: The soft silicone layer and flexible construction conform to body contours, ensuring a comfortable fit even on fragile skin.
• Multi-Functional: Can be used as a primary dressing in direct contact with the wound bed or as a secondary dressing over an appropriate wound filler or other primary dressings.
• Easy Application: Unique three-section release film layout simplifies positioning and application, enhancing convenience for healthcare providers.

Vitále Silicone Super-Absorbent Dressings have 3 layers:

1. The waterproof yet vapor permeable outer film is gentle and conformable for fragile skin.
2. An absorbent pad with two components: a polyurethane foam and a layer of super-absorbent fibers which is effective in regulating wound exudates for an ideal moist wound environment.
3. A soft silicone wound contact layer that is conformable for intimate skin contact. The silicone layer provides flexible adhesion, and passes exudates through to the absorbent layer, controlling excess moisture.

Vitále Silicone Super Absorbent Dressings are sterilized by ethylene oxide and must not be resterilized. The silicone adhesive covers the entire wound or covers the primary dressing surface, & allows the center of the dressing to gently adhere to the wound or the primary dressing. The border attaches firmly yet gently to the peri-wound tissue, helping prevent breakdown of surrounding tissue. The silicone is elastic & flexible so that the dressing may be gently peeled back for inspection.

How To Apply

1. Clean and rinse the wound per the usual protocol. Wound Cleanser Spray helps condition & prepare the wound bed for healing.
2. Using sterile technique, take the dressing out of the package, & remove the center release film exposing the soft silicone layer.
3. Place the dressing on the moist wound, centering & positioning the pad on the wound. The soft silicone contact layer is so flexible that it may be adhered directly to the wound bed.
4. When used as a secondary dressing, apply primary dressing or wound filler to the wound bed per that product's Instructions for Use. Then apply the Vitale Silicone Dressings by removing the center release film & applying to the center of the wound.
5. Remove the border release film & adhere to peri-wound tissue. Do not stretch the dressing while applying.
6. If the absorbent pad becomes saturated, exudates will leak out the side of the absorbent pad and may be observed in the border. When this occurs, the dressing should be changed.
7. Change dressing as directed, when the absorbent pad is saturated, or at least every 7 days.
