Carbonet 7064 Charcoal Odour Absorbent Dressing

Carbonet Activated Charcoal Odour Adsorbent Dressing: Carbonet dressings have been designed to facilitate easier wound management and a reduction in nursing time in the treatment of malodorous and infected wounds. They utilise the important, well-proven benefits of an activated charcoal layer, with the additional features of absorbency and non-adherency. The dressings create a favourable environment for wound healing, whilst being cost effective and easy to use.

Features:

- Activated charcoal layer
- Wound contact layer
- Absorbent padding layer
- Absorbs bacteria and offensive odours
- Flexible and conformable

Benefits:

• Absorbent:

  Carbonet has excellent absorptive capacity and can absorb the heavy viscous exudate typically found in leg ulcers and other chronic wounds.

• Contains Activated Charcoal Cloth:

  Activated charcoal has a well proven ability to absorb bacteria and embarrassing odours from infected or contaminated wounds.

• Non-Adherent:

  Features Tricotex* wound contact layer with its excellent non-adherent properties.

• Easy to Apply and Retain:

  The composite structure of Carbonet gives all the benefits of separate wound contact layer absorbent pad and odour adsorbing material, but it is much quicker and easier to apply than three separate dressings.

• Conformable:

  The dressing is conformable and can be cut to fit wounds which are awkwardly situated.

• Cost Effective:

  The construction of Carbonet does not require a separate wound contact layer and absorbent dressing, simplifying dressing changes and thus saving valuable nursing time.

Cleanse wound according to local clinical protocol.

Step 1:

Debride the wound if required, with a suitable agent.

Step 2:

Frequency of change:

CARBONET dressings can be left in place for 2-3 days, dependent upon the amount of exudate.

Dressing removal:

To remove CARBONET dressing remove the retention dressing or bandage and lift the dressing away from the wound.
