Description

The ASGUARD CLEAR FILM DRESSING by Asguard (Sentry Medical) offers an advanced solution for effective wound management and protection. This sterile, transparent polyurethane film dressing is designed to cater to superficial wounds with light exudate, providing a secure and protective layer for IV lines and insertion sites such as peripheral IV cannulae.

Key Features

• Transparency and Visualisation: The clear film allows for continuous visual monitoring of the wound or covered tissue, ensuring easy assessment without removal.
• Waterproof and Breathable: Its waterproof nature permits patients to shower without compromising the dressing, while high moisture vapour permeability maintains a breathable environment conducive to healing.
• Flexible and Comfortable: The dressing conforms seamlessly to body contours, offering flexibility and comfort. The central absorbent pad with a clear adhesive border enhances its practicality by minimizing adherence to the wound.

Application and Use

Equipped with an easy peel frame, the ASGUARD CLEAR FILM DRESSING ensures smooth application, making it suitable for managing minor wounds such as skin tears, post-operative sites, abrasions, lacerations, blisters, and minor skin loss. Its gentle, skin-friendly adhesive minimizes irritation, making it ideal for sensitive skin.

Application Guidelines

• Proper Placement: Apply to clean, dry skin, extending the dressing 1–2 cm beyond the wound margin.
• Wear Time: The dressing can be worn for up to 7 days, with changes recommended when exudate absorption extends beyond the pad.
• Removal Technique: Gentle removal using a 'stretch and release' method or adhesive remover wipes is advised to prevent skin damage.

Contraindications

• Allergy Awareness: Not suitable for individuals with known allergies to the dressing’s components.
• Infection Management: In cases of infection, it should be used alongside appropriate antimicrobial dressings as advised by a healthcare professional.

Available Sizes and Packaging

The dressing is available in various sizes ranging from 4 cm x 5 cm to 20 cm x 30 cm, catering to diverse wound care needs. Packaging options include boxes of 25 or 50, with larger carton quantities available for some sizes, providing flexibility for different healthcare settings.

This comprehensive design makes the ASGUARD CLEAR FILM DRESSING a versatile and reliable choice for healthcare professionals and patients seeking effective wound care solutions.
