Single use, sterile dressing, impregnated with copper oxide particles with an internal absorbent layer and one external non-woven, non-adherent layer.
Features:
Proprietary Technology
Copper microparticles are embedded into fibers, substrates and polymers very early during production with no significant changes to the manufacturing process
All layers are impregnated with copper oxide particles
Strong protection against a broad spectrum of wound pathogens – antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal including antibiotic-resistant pathogens
With sustained antibacterial action, the dressings have up to 7-day wear-time allowing for fewer changes and reduced clinician contact time
Non-sensitizing and non-irritating to the skin
Efficient adhering and pain free removal
No need to pre-wet
Dressings can be trimmed to optimally fit the wound Adhesive Dressing Trimming Notice: If the adhesive dressing is trimmed, some or all of the border may be lost. The dressing can still be used, but medical tape or a secondary bandage will be needed to secure it.
The copper-based wound dressings follow the successful commercialization of copper compounds impregnation into various fabrics and polymers after 15 years of research and are protected by 30 patents worldwide.
