An absorbent, low adherent dressing with a wicking effect, presented in a spiral ribbon form. The dressing comprises of a soft viscose and polyester fibres with a central wicking layer with a perforated permeable wound contact layer. The unique spiral shape allows the dressing to be easily cut to length for insertion into cavity wounds or conform to deep wound beds.

Fluid from the wound bed is rapidly absorbed into the ribbon and distributed by the central layer, resulting in sustained movement of exudate from a wound bed. This helps to manage exudate levels and promote autolytic debridement.

[features]

• Rapid absorption
• Draws in exudate
• Capillary action
• Can be used directly on wound bed

[how to use]

Advadraw Spiral can be inserted into a wound or placed (either side down) onto the wound surface. The end of Advadraw Spiral can be inserted through a standard Advadraw dressing which will act as a reservoir for exudate collection. You can further increase the capaity by adding an Eclypse on the top.

Advadraw Spiral can be cut to shape ensuring sharp scissors are used. Secure with a secondary dressing of choice, e.g., a film dressing, bandage and/or tape.

[frequency of change]

Advadraw Spiral may initially require changing daily but can be extended and left in place for up to 7 days.

[indications]

• Leg ulcers
• Pressure ulcers
• Post operative or dehisced surgical wounds

[contra-indications]

• Arterial bleeds
• Heavily bleeding wounds
• Vascular fungating tumours
• Wounds with limited exudate
