PRIMAPORE is a conformable adhesive dressing consisting of a breathable non-woven top layer and a low-adherent absorbent pad.
PRIMAPORE
adhesive wound dressings have been designed to benefit both the patient
and the user. The dressing is very soft and conformable making it
comfortable to wear whilst at the same time protecting the wound from
further trauma.
Features & Benefits:
Conformable:
The
dressing is soft and conformable ensuring patient comfort. The flexible
non-woven layer will not restrict bodily movements when in place and
helps to ensure conformability to all wound sites.
Highly Absorbent Pad:
The
dressing consists of a highly absorbent pad, maximizing the passage of
blood and exudate into the dressing, minimizing the risk of fluid
strikethrough.
Low Adherent Wound Contact Layer:
The pad
has a low adherent wound contact layer which helps to minimise
disruption or trauma to the underlying tissue on removal of the
dressing, which helps to reduce the risk of pain on removal.
Rounded Corners:
The
dressing has rounded corners which may help to reduce the risk of the
dressing lifting or snagging, which may help to reduce the frequency of
dressing change by maintaining an optimal dressing condition.
Easy To Apply:
The
protector paper, which is slit across the width of the dressing,
enables quick application without the risk of touching the absorbent pad
or adhesive area with fingers or forceps. The easily opened packaging
facilitates clean dressing technique.
Low Allergy Adhesive:
The
low allergy acrylic adhesive is spread evenly onto the non-woven
backing layer of the dressing, providing safe and secure fixation over
the wound site.
Application & Removal:
Peel away the backing papers to expose the non-adherent absorbent pad.
Holding
the backing papers at each end of the dressing,carefully position the
dressing over the designated area and remove the release papers.
Gently
smooth the dressing into place, applying light pressure (especially
around the edges). Care must be taken not to stretch the dressing on
application as this may cause trauma to the underlying skin.
Presentation:
Each dressing is individually wrapped and sterile.
Sterilisation is by ethylene oxide.
