Description
Soffban Synthetic Padding Dressing by BSN Medical is an essential component in various medical applications, including fracture management, compression therapy, and wound care. Designed for both human and veterinary use, this versatile padding offers exceptional performance in casting, splinting, and post-surgery support.
Material and Design
Crafted from 100% polyester, this non-woven, non-absorbent material provides high loft construction for superior cushioning and protection. Its soft and smooth texture ensures comfort against the skin, while its highly conformable nature allows it to shape effortlessly around complex body contours and joints. The ability to feather out provides a smooth, even finish, enhancing its practicality.
Application and Performance
Soffban Synthetic Padding is easily tearable, allowing for quick and trouble-free application. It clings to itself for secure placement and retains its cushioning properties even when wet. The moisture-resistant design wicks moisture away from the skin, minimizing the risk of maceration and sensitivity. Lightweight and breathable, it maintains durability and structure throughout use.
Sterilization and Compatibility
This padding is autoclavable, capable of being sterilized at 134°C - 138°C, making it suitable for sterile procedures. It is compatible with both plaster of Paris and synthetic casts, and its absence of natural rubber latex and other common allergens makes it a safe choice for a wide range of patients.
Packaging and Environmental Considerations
Available in widths ranging from 5 cm to 20 cm, each roll measures 2.7 meters in length. Standard packaging includes packs of 12 rolls, with the 20 cm width supplied in packs of 6. The packaging is free from PVC and natural rubber latex, aligning with environmental and safety standards.
Usage and Storage
Intended for single-use, Soffban can remain on intact skin or surgical dressings for periods ranging from 3 days to 12 weeks, depending on the treatment. It should be stored in a dry, clean place away from direct sunlight, with a shelf life of 5 years.
Additional Benefits
Soffban maintains a soft texture with minimal fiber shedding, protecting the skin from abrasions and providing safety during cast removal. Its ability to be used in theatre or sterile environments without removing the paper wrapping adds to its versatility, making it a reliable choice for healthcare professionals.
