Areza Sacral Ultra-Absorbent Foam with Adhesive Border and Flaps consists of a fenestrated silicone wound contact layer, a triple-layer ultra-absorbent pad, and a vapor permeable, waterproof polyurethane (PU) film backing. The multi-layer construction facilitates dynamic fluid management to provide an optimal moist wound environment known to promote faster wound healing. Dynamic fluid management may help reduce the risk of maceration. The gentle silicone layer can significantly minimize pain and trauma to the wound and its surrounding skin during dressing change. The two main absorbent layers- PU foam and ultra-absorbent polyacrylate, provide superior absorption and lock exudates away. The PU backing is waterproof and vapor permeable and may protect against contaminations by external fluids and organisms.
A wound covering typically in the form of a multi-layered pad having a material or substance on its skin-contact surface (e.g., silicone gel), or designed to be soaked in saline prior to application, to prevent adherence to the wound bed thereby decreasing wound trauma potential; it does not contain an antimicrobial agent. It is typically used to absorb wound blood/exudates while protecting the wound from external contamination and maintaining a moist internal environment. It may be used as a primary or secondary dressing to treat chronic and postoperative wounds, burns, ulcers, abrasions, cuts, or puncture sites; it is not a dedicated burn dressing. This is a single-use device.
