The HealBand Foam Dressings Range features a THREE layer construction which is perfect for wound healing.
The layered construction of the dressing features 4mm soft absorbent polyurethane foam.
The foam has a micro thin perforated skin contact layer with sealed edges which wont stick to wounds and allows the exudate to move away from the wound. HealBand foam dressings are backed by a breathable elastic waterproof polyurethane top layer which allows the skin to breathe but keeps the exudate in.
Cushioned comfort
HealBand Foam dressings are soft & cushioning, giving excellent patient comfort & protection.
Clean wound healing
HealBand Foam dressings absorb and retain exudate, bacteria and cellular debris, providing clean, mess free dressing changes.
Indications
HealBand Foam dressings are ideal for medium and high exudating wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, second degree burns & traumatic wounds. Healband Foam dressings are also ideal for use on granulating wounds in difficult to dress areas such as the heel.
Contraindications
Do not use with oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite solutions or hydrogen peroxide solutions as these can breakdown the absorbent hydro cellular component of the dressing
Benefits:The micro-thin non-adhesive skin contact layer regulates absorption and prevents blockage of the foam cells by thick exudate.
HealBand’s hydrocellular foam core absorbs and holds liquid in its microscopic cell structure (up to 20g/g).
The HealBand foam dressings are so effective that they are able to retain up to 90% of absorbed exudate under compression.
HealBand foam dressings feature a high water vapour permeability of 5000gms/sgm/24hrs.
The moist wound environment created by the HealBand foam dressings promotes early wound healing.
The breathable waterproof film layer of the foam dressings allows excess moisture to evaporate away from the dressing resulting in the formation of a moist wound environment. This feature eliminates the need for frequent dressing changes which can create extra trauma for the healing wound.
