Acticoat®

Acticoat is a unique nanocrystalline silver technology that delivers fast-acting and long-lasting protection against infection, with the added benefit of minimal disruption to the wound site. The Acticoat dressings are ideal for burns, pressure ulcers and leg ulcers. (Latex Free).

Algisite®

Algisite is a unique calcium-alginate dressing made from fast gelling, high mannuranic acid fibres, with a needling process that produces a soft, conformable dressing with less fibre shed and high integrity when wet. Algisite forms a soft, supported gel when it comes into contact with wound exudate. Excess wound exudate is absorbed in this process. Algisite utilizes the proven benefits of moist wound healing, which results in faster healing of even difficult wounds.

Allevyn® Foam Dressing

Trilaminate dressing comprised of a non-adherent wound contact layer, absorbent foam central core and a waterproof and bacteria proof outer layer. Allevyn is the state-of-the-art technologically advanced moist wound healing therapy for the cost-effective treatment of chronic and acute exudative wounds. Sterile. (Latex free).

A Self-Adhesive dressing for wounds with low to moderate exudate.

For wounds with moderate to high exudate.

For wounds with high to very high exudate.

Carbonet® Absorbent Dressing

Carbonet is a non-adherent odor absorbent dressing containing activated charcoal cloth.

Cutinova® Hydro

Hydro-selective absorbent dressing. Comfortable and waterproof, Cutinova Hydro was developed for maximum absorption, resulting in fewer dressing changes. This next generation hydrocolloid dressing is self-adhesive and is made of highly absorbent polyurethane gel, with a film top layer. It provides a bacterial barrier, but is oxygen and water vapor permeable. Sterile.

Exu-Dry® Burn Dressing with Anti-Shear Layer

A one-piece, multi-layer synthetic dressing with a sealed construction, which eliminates frayed edges, loose threads and linting. The unique Anti-Shear® Layer minimizes friction and shearing forces, thereby protecting the wound. Its highly absorptive properties reduce the frequency of dressing changes. (Latex free).

Intrasite® Gel

This clear hydrogel is ideal for maintaining a moist healing environment while cleansing and debriding. Sterile, single dose packages make application easy. Also available in a pre-saturated, non-woven dressing form, for packing of deep undermined wounds.

Iodisorb®

Iodisorb is a sterile formulation of Cadexomer Iodine. When applied to the wound, Iodisorb cleans it by absorbing fluids, removing exudate, pus and slough and forming a protective gel over the wound surface. Iodosorb paste can be used on all types of pressure sores and leg ulcers. Iodisorb Ointment - for treatment of chronic leg ulcers.

Opsite® Wound Dressing

Use as a cover dressing for moist wound healing. Opsite is a transparent, moisture vapour permeable film dressing. Choose from original Opsite or Opsite Flexigrid. Flexigrid has a grid carrier sheet that can be used to measure the wound, then removed, leaving the Opsite dressing in place.

Opsite® Flexifix

Opsite Flexifix is the same Opsite material except in a non-sterile roll that you can cut to size.

Skin-Prep® Protective Dressing

Provides a tough coating to seal out digestive juices and urine, and to protect tender skin from any kind of adhesive trauma. Skin-Prep should only be used on intact skin.
