It is designed to help protect the wound while preventing the dressing from adhering to the wound1 and to minimise pain and trauma upon removal.
How does it work
ADAPTIC® Non-Adhering Dressing protects the fragile tissue in wounds by its unique structure with small mesh size, preventing tissue adherence to either the ADAPTIC® dressing or the secondary dressing on top of it.
- The mesh allows for exudate to easily pass through to the secondary dressing used, preventing maceration of the Wound surface
- Knitted cellulose acetate fabric allows ADAPTIC® to be cut to wound size without unravelling or shredding
- ADAPTIC® Non-Adhering Dressing removes cleanly from the wound, minimising trauma and pain2,3
ADAPTIC® Non-Adhering Dressing construction:
Petrolatum emulsion coated mesh
(Light Microscopy Photo (x20)
- Smooth and gentle
- Smaller mesh size – reduced potential of secondary dressing adherence to wound bed through the mesh
Knit structure cellulose acetate
(Scanning Electron Micrograph (x20)
- Can be cut to wound size
- No loose fragments or shed on cutting
Indications
ADAPTIC® Dressing is indicated for dry to highly exuding wounds where adherence of dressing and exudate is to be prevented, including: First and second degree burns, abrasions, grafts, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, nail extractions, eczema, staples, surgical incisions, lacerations, reconstructive procedures and suture lines
