Description
Kendall™ AMD Antimicrobial Foam Dressings are expertly designed to foster a moist wound-healing environment while effectively managing moderate to high levels of exudate. These dressings are impregnated with 0.5% PHMB (Polyhexamethylene Biguanide), an antimicrobial agent that significantly reduces bacterial colonization and penetration within the dressing itself. This feature provides a protective barrier, making the dressing effective for up to seven days.
Key Features
- High Fluid Capacity: The micro-structured, open-cell surface with vertical wicking action ensures efficient absorption and retention of exudate.
- Antimicrobial Protection: Creates a bactericidal environment against a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria (such as MRSA and VRE), as well as fungi and yeast.
- Versatile Use: Suitable as a secondary or cover dressing for various wound types, available in multiple sizes and configurations to meet diverse needs.
Indications for Use
These dressings are ideal for a wide range of wounds, including:
- Post-surgical incisions
- Pressure ulcers
- Venous stasis ulcers
- Diabetic ulcers
- Donor sites
- Abrasions and lacerations
- 1st and 2nd degree burns
- Dermatologic disorders
Application Guidelines
To ensure optimal performance, cleanse the wound and dry the surrounding skin before application. A 2-inch foam margin around the wound is recommended. Secure the dressing with adhesive tape or an appropriate secondary dressing, and change it when saturation is visible or as per nursing practice.
Sizes and Configurations
Kendall™ AMD Foam Dressings are available in various sizes, including standard, foam plus, and foam border variants, to accommodate different wound types and sizes. This versatility makes them suitable for use in hospitals, clinics, and paediatric wound care settings, providing reliable management for acute or chronic wounds with moderate to high exudate levels.
Additional Benefits
The dressings are sterile and hypoallergenic, enhancing patient comfort and safety. Their ability to adapt to different wound care needs makes them a valuable asset in promoting effective healing outcomes across various medical environments.
