Proximel Foam Dressing with Border FAQs
What is the purpose of the dressing's core layers?
The core layers of the dressing are engineered to support fast absorption of wound exudate. This rapid absorption helps to manage moisture levels and minimize the risk of maceration (skin damage due to excessive moisture) around the wound.
How does this dressing help with moisture management?
This dressing offers high breathability, indicated by its Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR). This breathability supports a good moisture balance at the wound site, allowing excess moisture vapor to escape while maintaining an optimal healing environment.
Does this dressing protect the wound from external contaminants?
Yes, this dressing is waterproof and bacteria-proof. This helps to protect the wound from external moisture, fluids, and bacterial contamination, reducing the risk of infection.
Is the dressing breathable?
Yes, despite being waterproof and bacteria-proof, the dressing is also air-permeable. This allows for the passage of air and oxygen, which is important for maintaining a healthy wound environment and supporting the healing process.
