Eclypse Adherent - Super Absorbent Dressing with Soft Silicone Contact Layer
Eclypse Adherent is a super absorbent dressing with a soft silicone contact layer. The soft silicone layer provides convenient gentle adherence and will reduce pain and tissue damage on removal. The dressing has a rapid wicking face combined with the highly absorbent moisture locking system. The absorbent layer provides a large capacity with rapid fluid uptake forming a gel on contact with exudate. The backing is a water resistant barrier film to prevent strike-through with a high moisture vapour transfer rate prolonging wear ability.
Use
Eclypse Adherent is placed face down on wound surface with beige backing uppermost. For large wounds,dressings can be placed side-by-side.
Wear time will depend on the level of exudate but Eclypse Adherent can be left in place for up to seven days. Do not cut Eclypse Adherent.
Top tip
A good tip is to choose a larger size of Eclypse Adherent than you would usually select; due to the hydrophobic nature of soft silicone, the dressing will need to adhere to a dry surface that surrounds the wound.
Indications
Moderate to heavily exuding wounds including: Leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, sloughy or granulating wounds, post operative sutured or dehisced wounds, fungating wounds, donor sites and patients with fragile skin.
Contra-indications
Do not use Eclypse Adherent on arterial bleeds and heavily bleeding wounds. Do not cut Eclypse Adherent or use if allergic to silicone.
