Effective in preventing, softening, flattening and fading, red and raised scars - both old and new. Suitable for scars resulting from surgery, accidents and burnsSemi-occlusive to help hydrate the scar area.Shown to reduce the thickness, itchiness and colouration of raised scars.Results may occurs within 2 months (best results seen after 6 months if used correctly) Shown to be effective on scars up to 30 years old.Can be washed/cleaned for reuse on the same person.
IV3000 Dressing minimises the risk of maceration due to a higher moisture vapour transmission rate (MVTR) demonstrated against other film dressings. The REACTIC film switches to become more permeable in the presence of moisture by allowing it to evaporate from underneath the dressing.It also acts as a bacterial and viral barrier including MRSA - reduces the risk of infectionUse for up to 7 days, reducing unscheduled dressing changes.Securing strips help to increase conformability around the dressing site.
An anti-microbial barrier dressing consists of three layers: an absorbent rayon/polyester inner core sandwiched between outer layers of nanocrystalline silvercoated, low adherent polyethylene net. An absorbent wound dressing that helps to maintain a moist environment at the wound surface.The dressing is low adherent, which helps to minimise wound trauma at dressing changes.Nanocrystalline silver provides an effective anti-microbial barrier to microbial contamination protecting the wound from invasive pathogenic micro-organisms, thus assisting faster healing.Nanocrystalline silver is also effective against micro-organisms present in the wound, helping to reduce the risk of cross infection.The anti-microbial barrier properties of ACTICOAT Flex 3 remain effective for a minimum of 3 days.
ACTICOATâ„¢ Flex 3 dressing consists of a flexible, low adherent polyester layer coated with nanocrystalline silver.ACTICOAT Flex 3 is a highly conformable dressing that follows the body contours to maintain contact with the wound surface.The dressing is low adherent, which helps to minimise wound trauma at dressing changes.Nanocrystalline silver provides an effective anti-microbial barrier to microbial contamination protecting the wound from invasive pathogenic micro-organisms, thus assisting faster healing.The anti-microbial barrier properties of ACTICOAT Flex 3 remain effective for a minimum of 3 days.
ALLEVYN Adhesive maintains a moist wound environment (which helps to promote wound healing)ALLEVYN Adhesive Dressing consists of a highly absorbent hydrocellular foam pad held between an adhesive perforated wound contact layer and a highly permeable outer top filmTop film is a bacterial barrier preventing fluid and bacterial contamination.The highly breathable top film of ALLEVYN Adhesive helps to minimise the risk of maceration to the wound and peri-wound.Minimally disruptive to healing tissue.Flexible and conformable. Easy to use, apply and remove.
ALLEVYN NON-ADHESIVE Foam Dressings have an advanced triple layer constructioneasy to apply, remove, use, and can be cut to size and desired shape to adapt to difficult areas or unusual shapes of the wound. The size of the dressing can be adjusted so that the edge protrudes about 2 cm above the wound edge.suitable for use on fragile skin and the dressing conforms to body contours.suitable for use under compression, and retains fluid when compressed.ALLEVYN NON-ADHESIVE Dressing has a high fluid handling capacity, maintains a moist wound environment and also helps to reduce the risk of maceration.ALLEVYN NON-ADHESIVE Dressing has a breathable top film which aids in the prevention of fluid and bacterial strike through.
