Durafiber gelling fbr drssng 10cm x 10cm - 10

Product Description

CE medical device, class IIb sterile dressing (Gamma rays) made of gelling ethyl sulfonated cellulose fibres.
Useful for the management of chronic and acute wounds, partial-thickness, full-thickness, or superficial granulating lesions. For example, leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, wounds healing by secondary intention, donor sites, fistulas and tunneled wounds, partial thickness burns, traumatic wounds and wounds prone to bleeding such as mechanically or surgically debrided wounds.
The product does not contain resins and natural gums (latex) which represent a potential allergenic.
Available in various formats:
5 cm x 5 cm pack of 10 dressings, 10 cm x 10 cm pack of 10 dressings, 15 cm x 15 cm pack of 5 dressings, 2 cm x 45 cm pack of 5 dressings.

Mechanism of action
The ethylsulphonation treatment, like other chemical processes to which cellulose fibres may be subjected (e.g. Carboxymethylation) makes the resulting Ethyl Sulfonated Cellulose (ESC) absorbent and gelling. When in contact with exudate, the ESC dressing absorbs it vertically, controlling its lateral dispersion; it gels and traps both the exudate and the bacteria it contains within its structure. This reduces the risk of maceration and prevents fluid leakage, even under compression. The gelling of the fibers allows the dressing to conform to the wound surface, maintaining a uniformly moist environment for healing on the wound bed and reducing empty spaces where bacteria could proliferate. The particular chemical treatment process also makes the gelled dressing low in shrinkage and highly resistant to traction: even when applied to cavities or fistulous tracts, the dressing does not break easily during removal from wounds.

Composition and structure
Dressing made of ethyl sulfonated cellulose fibers. The dressing is made of a non-woven fabric. The dressing absorbs and interacts with exudate, transforming into a soft, transparent, hydrophilic gel. 80% ethyl sulfonated cellulose fibers and 20% cellulose fibers.

Directions for use
The dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days or changed when clinically indicated (e.g., in case of exudate leakage or excessive bleeding). Local clinical protocol should also be taken into account.

Storage
Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C, away from direct light.

Format
Packs of 10 or 5 dressings.
