Smith & Nephew Primapore Adhesive Fabric Island Dressing Pad

Smith & Nephew Primapore Adhesive Fabric Island Dressing Pad

Primapore dressings combine an absorbent pad with a soft and conformable fixative layer for the simple and effective management of sutured wounds.

Features:

• Soft breathable cover
• Highly absorbent pad
• Low Allergy Adhesive
• Conformable pad and cover

Benefits:

Highly absorbent and low-adherent pad

The polyester wound contact layer on the pad enables the passage of blood or exudate into the highly absorbent pad whilst maintaining a good healing environment and minimal pain on dressing removal.

Secure Fixation

The low allergy acrylic adhesive is evenly spread onto the non-woven backing surface providing a secure dressing fixation over the wound site.

Soft and Conformable

Ensures patient comfort and conformability to all wound sites (even the more difficult areas like shoulders and axillae).

Ease of use

The protector paper, which is slit across the width of the dressing, enables quick application without the risk of touching the absorbent pad or adhesive area with fingers or forceps. The easily opened packaging facilitates aseptic dressing technique.

Patient Comfort

The thick pad minimises fluid strike-through and helps to protect the wound from trauma.

Contraindications and Precautions:

• Change dressing daily or more often according to the condition of the wound.
• As with all adhesive products apply and remove carefully from sensitive or fragile skin.
• Seek medical advice immediately for all serious wounds and burns, or if redness or discomfort occurs.
