Product Description
Exudate Management – For moderately to heavily exuding malodorous wounds CarboFlex® dressing is a five-layer dressing specifically designed to address the management problems associated with malodorous wounds. CarboFlex® dressing provides effective exudate control and odour adsorption while being soft and conformable.
Application
Carefully cleanse the wound with saline and dry surrounding skin. Choose a dressing size that is large enough to overlap the wound edge by at least 3cm. For shallow wounds, CarboFlex® dressing can be used as a primary dressing. For deeper wounds, CarboFlex® dressing may be used as a secondary dressing over a suitable cavity filler. Place the fibrous (non-shiny) surface of the dressing directly onto the wound or over the cavity filler. The absorbent wound contact layer will form a soft gel when in contact with wound exudate. For wounds with very heavy levels of exudate, use an appropriate absorptive dressing such as AQUACEL® dressing as a primary dressing (either ribbon for cavities or a sheet for shallow wounds) and CarboFlex® dressing as a secondary dressing. CarboFlex® dressing can be secured in place with tape or other appropriate material.
