Description
Smith & Nephew's PRIMAPORE Dressings offer a versatile solution for effective wound management. These sterile, adhesive dressings are designed to protect a variety of wounds, including post-operative sites, cuts, lacerations, and abrasions. Their design ensures comfort and secure placement, even on challenging areas like elbows and joints.
Key Features
- Highly Absorbent Pad: The central pad efficiently absorbs exudate, keeping wounds dry to promote optimal healing.
- Low-Adherent Contact Layer: Minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes.
- Breathable and Flexible Cover: Allows moisture vapor to pass through, preventing moisture build-up.
- Low-Allergy Adhesive: Latex-free acrylic adhesive reduces the risk of skin irritation.
Design Benefits
PRIMAPORE Dressings are conformable and comfortable, making them suitable for use on body contours without restricting movement. The rounded corners are designed to reduce the risk of lifting, potentially decreasing the frequency of dressing changes. Easy application is facilitated by slit protector paper, allowing for quick, aseptic placement.
