Tricotex dressings are constructed from knitted viscose rayon and are designed to act as an interface between ulcerating or granulating wounds and conventional absorptive dressings. The open knitted construction allows exudate to pass freely from the wound site. Disruption of the wound and its healing tissue is avoided by leaving Tricotex in place while the absorbent pads are changed as required. Being non-medicated, there is a low risk of sensitisation with Tricotex dressings. Tricotex dressings can be removed from the wound at any stage by gently stretching diagonal corners and lifting upwards from the edges.
Presentation
Each dressing is individually wrapped and sterile.
Features:
• Low-adherent interface layer
• Open knitted construction
• Can be left in place during absorbent pad change
Benefits
Conformable
The dressing will conform to all wound sites ensuring patient comfort.
Easy to use
Supplied sterile in a peel-apart pouch.
Low-adherent
The dressing’s knitted construction reduces the contact area of the dressing with the wound, and this together with the smooth texture of the rayon strands minimises adherence of the healing tissue to the dressing.
Indications
Tricotex dressings are intended for use as an interface layer between ulcerating or granulating wounds and conventional absorptive dressings.
