Advanced Wound

BREATHABLE POLYURETHANE FILM BACKING Provides a high rate of moisture vapour transmission. Acts as a barrier to external contamination. ABSORBENT HYDROCOLLOID MATRIX Absorbs exudate to form a cohesive gel to create a moist wound environment. WHEN DO I USE IT? LOW PROFILE BORDER Improves adhesion and reduces risk of edge roll. WHAT IS IT? CovaWound™ Hydrocolloid dressing (with border) is composed of an absorbent hydrocolloid matrix that has a hydrocolloid border laminated onto a breathable polyurethane film backing. The hydrocolloid matrix rapidly absorbs exudate to form a cohesive gel, while the breathable polyurethane film backing provides a consistently high rate of moisture vapor transmission. FREQUENCY OF CHANGE:

CovaWound™ Hydrocolloid

HYDROCOLLOID DRESSING WITH BORDER

CovaWound™ Hydrocolloid dressing may be left in place for up to 7 days depending on the patient, the condition of the wound and surrounding skin, or as indicated by accepted clinical practice. The accumulative use of CovaWound™ Hydrocolloid dressing should not exceed 30 days. CovaWound™ Hydrocolloid dressing is indicated for the
management of lightly exuding wounds such as; pressure, leg and foot ulcers, superficial partial thickness burns, donor sites, diabetic ulcers, post-operative wounds and skin abrasions. CovaWound™ Hydrocolloid dressing may also be used on small wounds towards the end of the healing phase. HOW TO APPLY? 1. Clean the wound area with normal saline or distilled water.
2. Gently dry the surrounding skin and ensure that it is free of any residue.
3. Choose the size and shape of the dressing which is most suitable, the dressing should extend 2 cm beyond the wound margin.
4. Remove the large piece of the release liner from the dressing.
5. Center and apply the exposed part of the dressing over the wound bed.
6. Avoid touching the adhesive surface to minimize risk of contamination.
7. Remove the small piece of the release liner from the dressing and apply.
8. Finalize application of the dressing, making sure that the edges of the dressing adhere well. This initial adhesion will improve as the dressing warms up. If necessary, use medical tape around the edges to avoid roll-up. NOTE: • As with any medical device, always refer to the full instructions for use prior to application.
