Safe-Derm

Safe-Derm is a transparent semipermeable filmdressing made of a thin very elastic polyurethane film coated with a hypoallergenic adhesive. With a MVTR (Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate) of 600 g/m2/24H/37¢ªC Safe-Derm ensures a moist healing environment for superficial wounds with little or no exudates. The permeability of the Safe-Derm also prevents maceration when the product is used on un-damaged skin. Safe-Derm is non-permeable to water and micro-organisms and therefore provides an efficient barrier against contamination of wound sites from environment and allows the patient to shower. The very elastic film ensures great comfort to the patient and the low profile and round corners prevent that clothing and bed linen cause the filmdressing to roll off. Safe-Derm is available in 5 sizes and is recommended for the following applications: Prevention of Bed/Pressure sores Safe-Derm reduces friction on bed clothes Bed sores Safe-Derm protects against water, micro-organisms and other contaminants e.g. urine and faeces. Surgically closed wounds and donor sites Safe-Derm protects against infection and provides an ideal environment for wound healing Superficial burns, scalds and abrasions Safe-Derm is often used for dry and slightly exuding wounds, where the film reduces pain, protects against infections and provides an ideal environment for wound healing General protection Safe-Derm protects fragile skin – like e.g. elbows, knees etc. Fixation of catheters Safe-Derm may be used for fixation of catheters as it allows continuous monitoring of the puncture site. Secondary dressing Safe-Derm is recommended for protection and fixation of non-adhesive primary dressings and ointments Easy to use Safe-Derm has a simple well-known frame application system, which ensures a perfect application each time, also on difficult spots like elbow and knees.
