Suprasorb® X + PHMB Antimicrobial HydroBalance wound dressing, compress, sterile, 9 x 9 cm, 5 ST

Suprasorb® X + PHMB: The antimicrobial wound dressing with PHMB for rapid and gentle wound healing. Effective against MRSA and VRE. HydroBalance technology maintains a moist wound environment and reduces pain.

Suprasorb X + PHMB is an antimicrobial wound dressing that is effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens, such as MRSA and VRE *. In vitro studies show a very rapid and almost complete release of polyhexanide (PHMB) from the wound dressing within 24 hours.

Depending on the condition of the wound, Suprasorb X + PHMB either releases moisture to the wound or absorbs excess exudate. This creates a moist wound environment, which patients find comfortable and pain-relieving.

The material from which Suprasorb X + PHMB is made allows for easy adaptation to any wound shape and depth and is therefore particularly suitable for areas of the body that are difficult to treat. * Spectrum of pathogens demonstrated in vitro – see instructions for use

Indications

For the management of wounds at risk of infection or infected wounds, whether these are low to moderately exuding, superficial or deep.

• Suitable for use on any type of wound bed (necrotic, covered with eschar, granulating, epithelialising)

Intended use

Antimicrobial Hydrobalance Biocellulose 

Wound dressings/tamponades support wound healing by providing moisture, absorbing exudate from lightly to moderately exuding, superficial or deep wounds that are at risk of infection or are infected, and inhibiting microbial activity.

Indications

• Arterial and venous ulcers
• Diabetic ulcers
• Pressure ulcers
• Superficial second-degree burns
• Post-operative surgical wounds
• Skin grafts
• Split-thickness skin graft sites
• Abrasions, lacerations

Properties

• Cooling effect: rapid and long-lasting pain relief
• Hydro Balance Effect: autonomous regulation of moisture (release and absorption)
• Washing effect: moisturisation and removal of dead epithelial cells
• High level of comfort thanks to a soft and supple texture
• Particularly suitable for hard-to-reach areas of the body
• Patients find the moist environment with its cooling effect pleasant and pain-relieving
• Antimicrobial efficacy against a broad spectrum of pathogens, such as MRSA and VRE*)
• Antimicrobial efficacy against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi and biofilm

Dosage form

Sterile wound dressing

Directions for use

1. Clean the wound according to standard practice and then carefully pat the surrounding area dry with sterile wound dressings.
2. Apply Suprasorb X + PHMB to the wound and mould it to fit. If using the tamponade, fold it several times and insert it loosely into the wound.
3. Secure with a suitable secondary dressing, depending on the degree of exudation.

Notes

• When treating infected wounds, the wound dressing should not be used as the sole therapeutic measure; instead, it should be supplemented, at the discretion of the treating doctor, by pharmacological therapy in accordance with local clinical protocols.

Please contact a doctor or nurse if any of the following symptoms occur:

• Change in the colour and/or odour of the wound
• Stagnant wound healing
• Clinical signs of infection

Tip: If the dressing dries out, it must be thoroughly rehydrated and left in place for at least 10 minutes before removal.
