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 fast and gentle wound healing. Effective against MRSA and VRE. The HydroBalance technology ensures 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*. A very rapid and almost complete release of polihexanide (PHMB) from the wound dressing is demonstrated in vitro within 24 hours.

Suprasorb X + PHMB releases moisture into the wound or absorbs excess exudate, depending on the condition of the wound. This creates a moist wound environment that is perceived by patients as pleasant and pain-relieving.

The Suprasorb X + PHMB material allows easy adaptation to any wound shape and depth and is therefore particularly suitable for difficult-to-treat areas of the body * Pathogen spectrum proven in vitro see instructions for use

Areas of application

For the treatment of wounds at risk of infection or infected wounds, if they are slightly to moderately exuding, superficial or deep.

• Can be used on any wound bed (necrotic, covered, granulating, epithelialising)

Intended use

Antimicrobial hydrobalance biocellulose

Wound dressings/tamponades support wound healing by moisturising and absorbing exudate from slightly to moderately exuding, superficial or deep, infection-prone or infected wounds and inhibiting microbial activity.

Indications

• Arterial and venous ulcers
• Diabetic ulcers
• Pressure ulcers
• Superficial 2nd degree burns
• Post-operative surgical wounds
• Skin grafts
• Split-thickness skin grafts
• Abrasions, lacerations

Properties

• Cooling effect: fast and lasting pain reduction
• Hydro Balance Effect: independent regulation of moisture (donation and absorption)
• Washing effect: moisturisation and removal of dead epithelial cells
• High wearing comfort thanks to soft and supple structure
• Particularly suitable for areas of the body that are difficult to moisturise
• The moist environment with the cooling effect is perceived by patients as pleasant and pain-relieving
• Antimicrobial effectiveness 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

Wound dressing sterile

Application

1. Clean the wound to the usual standard and then carefully dab the wound area dry with sterile wound compresses.
2. Apply Suprasorb X + PHMB to the wound and mould it into place. If using the tamponade, fold it several times and insert it loosely into the wound.
3. Depending on the degree of exudation, secure with a suitable secondary dressing.

Notes

• When treating infected wounds, the wound dressing should not be used as the sole therapeutic measure, but should be supplemented with drug therapy at the discretion of the attending physician in accordance with local clinical protocols.

If the following symptoms occur, please contact a doctor or nurse:

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

Tip: If the dressing dries, ensure adequate rehydration with a contact time of at least 10 minutes before removal.
