- Designed to provide a sterile, waterproof barrier for wound and catheter sites
- It is a larger, rectangular dressing with a unique "picture-frame" application system
Uses:
- Catheter site protection:
- Securing central venous catheters (CVCs) and peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs)
- Wound dressing:
- Covering acute wounds (e.g., minor burns, abrasions, skin tears), chronic wounds (e.g., pressure ulcers), and clean, closed surgical incisions
- Moist wound healing:
- Maintaining a moist environment to assist in the healing of superficial wounds
- Skin protection:
- Acting as a protective cover for skin at risk of breakdown from friction
- Other applications:
- Can be used to cover feeding tubes, donor sites, and as a protective eyelid covering
Features:
- Sterile and waterproof barrier:
- The dressing protects wounds and IV sites from liquids, bacteria, and viruses. In vitro testing has demonstrated that it provides a viral barrier against viruses 27nm in diameter or larger
- Breathable film:
- The dressing's semi-permeable film allows oxygen and moisture vapor to pass through, which helps prevent skin maceration and maintain normal skin function underneath
- Moist wound healing environment:
- The film helps seal in the wound's natural fluids, which can facilitate autolytic debridement and promote faster, enhanced healing
- Transparent visibility:
- Its clear design allows for continuous visual monitoring of the wound or catheter site, eliminating the need for unnecessary dressing changes
- Gentle adhesive:
- The hypoallergenic adhesive provides secure fixation for catheters and other devices while being gentle on the skin during removal, minimizing the risk of trauma
- Conformable design:
- The thin, flexible film easily conforms to body contours and moves with the patient, which increases comfort
- "Picture-frame" application:
- This delivery system simplifies accurate placement, preventing the dressing from sticking to itself or a caregiver's gloves
- Versatile:
- The dressing can be cut to a specific size or shape, making it suitable for various applications and body areas
