Inadine 9.5cm x 9.5cm x 50 Non Adherent AntiMicrobial Wound Dressings

INADINE Non-Adherent Dressings

INADINE PVP-I Non-Adherent Dressing consists of a low adherent knitted viscose fabric impregnated with a polyethylene glycol (PEG) base containing 10% Pov..Iodine; equivalent to 1.0% available iodine.

Iodine is a highly effective topical antimicrobial that has been used clinically in the treatment of wounds for more than 170 years. It has a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity with efficacy against bacteria, microbacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses

How does it work?

The Iodine molecule has a broad spectrum antimicrobial action and has been proven to be effective against MRSA3-5.

INADINE minimises adherence to the wound bed, therefore reducing the risk of damage to the granulation tissue at dressing removal, and in clinical practice has been shown to reduce pain for patients.

As PVPI is released from INADINE the dressing will change colour from orange to white. The colour change provides an indicator of how frequently dressings should be changed preventing unnecessary dressing changes, when compared to other dressings. This could improve cost effectiveness in treatment.

Indications

• Minor burns
• Minor traumatic skin loss injuries
• Clinical studies suggest that INADINE may also be an appropriate dressing choice in the management of chronic wounds, including:
• Ulcers deriving from different aetiologies
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Pressure ulcers
