Eclypse Secondary Dressing CR3818 | 3-9/10 x 3-9/10 Inch by Advancis

The Eclypse® Secondary Dressing CR3818 by Advancis Medical is a square shaped dressing measuring at 3-9/10 x 3-9/10 inches ideal for smaller surface wounds containing high amounts of exudate. Eclypse® stands out as a super absorbent dressing due to its multiple layered design containing gel capsules that swell as it rapidly wicks the wound exudate and bacteria. The dressing is strong and won't break which can compromise the wound. The top protective film is constructed to be water resistant and prevent break-through. These important features facilitate longer wearing up to seven days depending on the amount of wound exudate.

Eclypse® Super Absorbent Secondary Dressing is available in a variety of sizes. It is non-adherent to reduce pain and irritation during dressing application. When needing additional coverage for pressure ulcer treatment, Eclypse® is available up to 23 inches.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are there any contra-indications for Eclypse dressings?

   Yes, the manufacturer discourages use on wounds with heavy bleeding because it can be difficult to assess how much blood the patient has lost.

2. Can Eclypse be cut?

   Eclypse dressings are sealed at the border and cutting will reduce their overall effectiveness.

3. Can Eclypse be used as both a primary and secondary wound contact layer?

   Eclypse can be both a primary or secondary dressing over an additional dressing like a collagen dressing.

5. Do you get strike-through with Eclypse?

   It's highly unlikely that you'll experience strike-through with an Eclypse Dressing.

10. How should I choose between the regular Eclypse and the adherent one?

    Eclypse Adherent is self adhering, Eclypse standard requires some kind of additional retention like a tubular stocking dressing.
