    Description

    ESPUMA®Gentle is absorbent, atraumatic dressing made of polyurethane foam with polyurethane top sheet and perforated soft silicone gel wound contact layer. The outer surface is breathable polyurethane film which is waterproof, bacteria proof and viral barrier, while the wound contact layer is perforated soft silicone gel layer to prevent adherence to the wound, allow painless and atraumatic removal and allow passage of exudates to the absorbent foam layer.

    Features
    • Gentle soft Silicone gel allows atraumatic dressing removal.
    • perforated silicone film, allow free passage of wound exudate to the foam so prevents skin maceration.
    • High absorption capacity polyurethane foam also provides a cushioning effect.
    • Highly breathable top sheet allows evaporation of absorbed exudates, thus it enhances fluid handling capacity of the dressing.
    • Being waterproof, the top sheet prevents strike through and allows showering while the dressing is in place.
    Indications

    ESPUMA® Gentle is suitable for dressing many types of exuding wounds including leg and pressure ulcers, surgical incisions and traumatic wounds resulting in skin loss, also may be used under compression bandaging.

    Contraindications

    Precaution

    In case of infection, ESPUMA®Gentle still can be used but under medical supervision and with antimicrobial conjunctive therapy.
