Vliwasorb Pro Superabsorbent Wound Dressing
Vliwasorb Pro Superabsorbent Wound Dressing is a highly conformable dressing with a smooth wound contact layer for wounds with moderate to very high levels of exudate. Its very high absorption and retention capacity protects wound edges from maceration and it promotes wound healing by maintaining a moist wound environment. It also helps to decrease the development of odour during the treatment. It also features a blue clothing protection layer protects clothing and bed linen from contamination.
Vliwasorb Pro Superabsorbent Wound Dressing is ideal for chronic wounds (e.g. leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, oncological wounds) and acute wounds (e.g. partial thickness burns, postoperative wounds, trauma wounds, skin graft donor sites).
Key Benefits
- Improved absorbency
- Comfort and conformability
- Ergonomic shape
- High absorbency and retention capacity
- Atraumatic dressing changes
- Protection and safety
Directions
- Cleanse the wound and pat the edges dry.
- Select the most appropriate shape and size dressing, and apply with the white side against the wound.
- For cavity wounds, an appropriate dressing (e.g. gelling fibre or alginate) may be laid into the cavity before applying Vliwasorb® Pro.
- Secure Vliwasorb® Pro against the wound, ensuring it keeps close contact to the wound contours. If compression is not required/inappropriate then an effective retention bandage should be used.
Cautions
- Do not use Vliwasorb® Pro on patients sensitive to any component of the dressing.
- Do not use Vliwasorb® Pro in cavity wounds, as the dressing will expand upon absorption of exudate.
- Do not use Vliwasorb® Pro on lightly or non-exuding wounds.
- Do not cut or tear Vliwasorb® Pro.
- It is not necessary to use a contact layer underneath Vliwasorb® Pro, as Vliwasorb® Pro has an integrated wound contact layer.
