Inadine ointment gauze with Pvp Io, 25 pcs

Inadine ointment gauze with PVP iodine

The Inadine wound dressing is used to protect the wound bed and prevent it from sticking to the wound.It has an antiseptic effect against bacteria.No prescription is required for this product.

Product features

The Inadine wound dressing consists of a non-adhesive, woven cellulose acetate and is impregnated with polyethylene glycol, which contains 10% povidone-iodine.This corresponds to 1.0% available iodine.Iodine is a highly effective topical antimicrobial that has been used in wound care for over 170 years.It is effective against bacteria, microbacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses.

The povidone-iodine molecule offers broad spectrum antimicrobial activity and has been proven to be effective against MRSA.The wound dressing minimizes adhesion to the wound bed and reduces the risk of damage to granulation tissue during dressing changes.This reduces pain for the patient.When povidone-iodine is released, the color of the wound dressing changes from orange to white.This color change indicates when the dressing should be changed, helping to avoid unnecessary dressing changes.

Indications

The Inadine wound dressing is indicated for chronic ulcerations and can also be used for infection prevention in minor burns and superficial injuries with skin loss.Clinical studies suggest that it is also suitable for the treatment of chronic wounds, including ulcers of various etiologies, diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers.It can be used as a primary dressing or in combination with other wound dressings.

Application

To prepare the wound area, the wound should be prepared according to the wound care protocol.Make sure the skin areas around the wound are dry.

Open the packaging and remove the Inadine dressing using sterile forceps.Peel off the first protective paper and then the wound dressing from the remaining protective paper.Place the dressing directly on the wound and cover it with a covering bandage of your choice.

To ensure good wound care, trauma to the uninjured skin should be avoided.If the Inadine wound dressing turns white, this indicates a decreasing antiseptic effect.In this case, the wound dressing must be changed.In the initial phase or in heavily infected or heavily exuding wounds, it may be necessary to change the dressing up to twice a day.The wound dressing is often easier to remove if it is carefully pulled to diagonally opposite corners.

Notes

The Inadine wound dressing should only be used under medical supervision on newborns and babies up to 6 months of age, as povidone-iodine itself could be absorbed through uninjured skin.Medical supervision is also required when treating deep ulcerating wounds, burns or extensive injuries.If the Inadine wound dressing is used for more than a week, this should also be done under medical supervision.The wound dressing must not be reused as this may lead to infection or cross-contamination.

Ingredients

The Inadine wound dressing is made of barely adhesive viscose fabric, coated with a wound ointment containing polyethylene glycol (PEG), demineralized water and 10% povidone-iodine (PVP-I).
