Promotes autolysis (disintegration) of dead tissue.
Is easy to remove from a wound. This is because of the Teflon covering that prevents the product from sticking to the wound, while still allowing excessive exudate to be absorbed.
Does not cause pain while on the wound.
Maintains a moist wound environment. This is very important since fibroblasts need a moist wound environment to promote wound closure. Fibroblasts 'dry out' in a dessert and 'drown' in a swamp. The Teflon covering is perforated which prevents drying out the wound, yet allows the excessive exudate to be absorbed.
Relieves tissue edema, this is especially true of the cavity plugs. This in turn promotes wound healing and pain relief.
Absorbs the odour that may arise from the wound.
Has to be changed infrequently, depending on the amount of wound exudate.
Is inexpensive.
Prevents infection by absorbing the excessive exudate.
Indicates when you should remove the covering.
Consists of material that does not cause allergies.
Stimulates granulating and epithelialization appropriately. This contributes to quicker wound healing and in turn earlier mobilization of the patient. Contractures are prevented in this way.
Irreversible into teh dressing and retains necrotic exudate
Does not escape the wound area and forms a equilibruim with the possibility that fluids will go back into the wound
Lifts Oedema over a very short period through osmotic pressure
Thus-;
Prevents oedema to escape as it forms a barrier between the blood flow and wound exudate
Allows blood flow to wound exudates as oedema is lifted
Allows bacteria multiplication as bacteria thrives in wet conditions
Prevents bacteria multiplication and infection due to less oedema
Oral-prescribed medication can not fully reach the wound exudates to kill bacteria. Oedema prevents sufficient blood flow which carries nutrients, microphages and leucocyles to the wound exudate.
Through the adsorption capacity of the product, it stimulates blood flow to the wound area.
Ointments and gells can not ridge the blood flow
The wound starts granulating as soon as blood flow carring microhages and leucocytes to the wound exudates
