Advazorb

Suitable for moderate exudate levels

Advazorb is a soft andconformable, low-adherent, hydrophilic, polyurethane foam dressing with a breathable film backing.

A non-adherent foam dressing with excellent fluid handling properties, Advazorb is suitable for wounds with low to medium levels of exudate and is ideal for use under compression bandaging with its fluid retention, low profile and low friction film backing.

The Advazorb range features a waterproof film backing that prevents strike through. The backing has been designed to reduce friction on clothes and bandages which extends dressing wear time by reducing ‘rucking’ and preventing dressings falling off.

With a high MVTR the Advazorb foam range provides the ideal conditions for wound healing.

Instructions for Use

Place directly to the wound surface pink film side up, ensuring the absorbent pad covers the entire wound area with an overlap of 1-2cm. Secure in place with tape, appropriate bandage or film dressing. Can be used under compression.

Frequency of change

Can be left in place for up to 7 days but should be changed immediately if strike through is apparent or when dressing reaches capacity. If exudate is visible around the edges of the dressing this is a clear indication that a dressing change is required. Clinical observation is necessary to determine required frequency of change.

Indications
