Medicare Advanced Woundcare Range

Medporex Surgical Dressing

A sterile, soft, non-woven dressing with high breathability. Designed especially for treating low to moderately exuding wounds.

• Air-permeable: Allows the skin to breathe.
• Hypoallergenic: Made from a non-woven material backed with a latex-free adhesive.
• Absorbent: Highly absorbent wound pad with a non-adherent wound contact layer.
• Flexible: The dressing is suitable for use on joints or awkward body contours.
• Breathable: The porous structure of the non-woven fabric ensures air and water-vapour permeability.
• Ideal for: surgical incisions, minor burns, cuts and abrasions.

Medipad Non-Adherent Wound Pad

A highly absorbent, non-adherent dressing pad for lightly exudating wounds.

• Absorbent: Rapid absorption of wound exudate through the open weave of the wound pad.
• Non-adherent: Non-adherent laminate on one side that won't disrupt healing tissue by sticking to the wound.
• Sterile: Individually wrapped.
• Ideal for: Superficial burns, surgical incisions, sutured wounds, abrasions.

Medisite Transparent Film Dressings

Breathable, transparent, adhesive dressings made of polyurethane film which allows wounds to breathe and water vapour to escape, protecting the skin against maceration.

• Sterile: Bacterial barrier helps protect the site against extrinsic contamination.
• Waterproof: Patient can shower with the dressing in place.
• Hypoallergenic: Latex-free adhesive.
• Conformable: Non-restrictive for the patient.
• Types: Dressings with pads, thin film dressings, and dressings supplied with a wound mapping grid.
• Ideal for: Superficial burns, IV sites, abrasions, lacerations, superficial pressure ulcers, closed surgical wounds..

Mediflex Silicone Foam Dressings

A soft silicone foam dressing for moderate to highly exuding wounds that drastically reduces both the pain and the tissue damage in wound management. Without the trauma of maceration and skin stripping, early and trouble-free healing is accelerated.

• Easy Removal: Can be removed with less risk of damaging the wound or the surrounding skin.
• Non-Adherent: Soft silicone wound contact layer that does not adhere to a moist wound but forms a gentle bond between the dressing and the wound.
• Silicone Layer: Minimises pain and damage to the wound and skin at dressing changes. The silicone layer gently moulds to the contours of the skin.
• Absorbent: Reliable absorption and excellent retention capacity resistant to leakage.
• Flexible: Soft and highly conformable and is ideal for patients with fragile skin.
• Ideal for: Highly exuding wounds, ulcers, second degree burns and traumatic wounds.

Medifoam Soft Silicone Foam Dressing

Medifoam dressings are a range of hydrocellular sterile foam dressings with thick soft absorbent polyurethane foam backed by a dual layer of breathable polyurethane film. They effectively absorb and retain exudate whilst maintaining a moist wound environment.

• Non-Adherent Silicone Layer: Does not adhere to a moist wound but the silicone layer forms a gentle bond between the dressing and the wound. This sealing effect also helps minimise the risk of maceration.
• Absorbent: Reliable absorption and excellent retention capacity that retains exudate whilst maintaining a moist wound environment.
• Flexible: Soft and highly conformable and is ideal for patients with fragile skin.
• Types: Non-adhesive and self-adhesive variations, including a specially fitted foam dressing for heels and elbows.
• Ideal for: Pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, skin tears and abrasions, skin graft donor sites and under compression bandage systems for venous ulcer treatment.

Medicel Super Absorbent Dressing

These dressings consist of a non-adherent wound contact layer, a super-absorbent polymer core and a waterproof back which prevents strike-through.

• Super absorbent: Excellent absorption and retention on exuding wounds. Fluid repellent backing layer minimises fluid strike-through.
• Fast-Acting: Its distribution layer with rapid fluid uptake distributes evenly upwards into the absorbent layer.
• Gentle: Hypoallergenic polypropylene sheet ultrasonically sealed without binders or adhesives.
• Sterile: Individually wrapped.
• Ideal for: Highly exuding wounds, ulcers, second degree burns and traumatic wounds.

Meditull Paraffin Gauze Dressing

Consists of a leno-weave fabric of 100% absorbent cotton thread.

• Soothing: Impregnated with white soft paraffin.
• Non-Adherent: The paraffin reduces adherence to the surface of a granulating wound.
• Sterile: Individually wrapped.
• Ideal for: Primary contact layer for burns, ulcers, skin grafts and traumatic wounds.
