Helps healing of exuding wounds

Description

Preformed foam dressing for superficial exuding wounds. These pads are designed to absorb wound exudates, both red and yellow. It helps to protect ulcers, oncological wounds, burns, etc. This product helps to minimize any risk of infection, thanks to the material from which it is made. The main feature of MEPILEX pads is their impermeable layer to bacteria and liquids. This helps to create an environment conducive to healing. This dressing can remain in place for several days depending on the condition of the wound and the condition of the surrounding healthy skin. Their design allows them to adhere to healthy skin, ensuring a painless pad change. In addition, it contributes to an uninterrupted healing process.

Instructions for use

Remove the protective film and place the dressing over the cleaned wound.

Pharmaceutical Advice

Burns are damage and destruction to the integrity of the skin caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, sun exposure or other radiation energy. At the domestic level, the most common burns are caused by liquids, hot steam or contact with a surface at a high temperature. These burns can reach more or less deep layers and affect adjacent structures (hair follicles, sweat glands). Their extent can be variable. They are classified into different degrees depending on these factors (degree 1 being the most superficial and least serious).

In cases of mild, superficial and not very extensive, slightly red burns (for example, after exposure to the sun), intensely moisturise the skin with soothing and moisturising emulsions. Sunscreen will also be necessary to protect the area with a high SPF and appropriate clothing and accessories. Remember that sunburns are indicative of deep damage to the skin, with alterations to cellular DNA, so it is always best to avoid them by using sunscreen and being responsible with sun exposure.

Other types of minor burns can be relieved immediately by placing the area under cold water for a few minutes. Then, when the skin is dry, apply a soothing, antiseptic and regenerating ointment. The damaged area should be covered with sterile bandages or dressings with silver particles (with an antibacterial effect). It should also be protected from the sun to avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. If any more serious signs appear, such as malaise, fever, discharge from the affected area, blisters, pain or other signs of infection, consult a healthcare professional.
