Eclypse Adherent Sacral Super Absorbent Dressing CR3986 | 8-7/10 x 9 Inch by Advancis

Eclypse® Adherent Sacral Super Absorbent Dressing CR3986 by Advancis Medical is a circular 8-7/10 x 9 inch dressing designed to fit the sacral region. This highly absorbent dressing is ideal for pressure ulcers and other highly exuding wounds. As a super absorbent dressing it has an excellent uptake of wound exudate. This moisture-locking system is found within its layers containing gel-forming capsules. It begins to swell as the exudate and bacteria enters the dressing and gets locked in which aids the healing process.

Eclypse® Adherent has a water-resistant barrier that prevents strike-through and leakage. It's also breathable with moisture vapor transfer to make for longer and comfortable wearability. With its exudate management capability, the dressing can be worn up to seven days.

Its silicone adherent backing is a feature that patients with contact sensitivity boast about. It makes for easier dressing changes with its low profile and gentle silicone construction to not harm the delicate skin.

The Super Absorbent Sacral Dressing is part of the Adherent Super Absorbent Dressings that come in a variety of shapes and sizes. When needing a smaller sacral dressing try the 6-7/10 x 7-1/2 Inch option.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can Eclypse Adherent Sacral bandages be cut? Never cut Eclypse Adherent Sacral Dressing. The edges of these bandages are sealed. Opening them would allow bacteria into the dressing and the wound, which could lead to infection.
2. Can this product be used for compression therapy? Yes. In its dry state, this item can be used in conjunction with compression therapy.
3. Is Eclypse Adherent Sacral Dressing an appropriate choice for both a primary and secondary wound dressing layer? Yes. This product's soft silicone contact layer means it won't adhere to the wound. However, if the wound tissue is broken, Tegaderm Silflex is a better option for the primary layer.
4. Does this item cause maceration? No. A special wicking face and high capacity fluid uptake layer prevent maceration.
5. Is strikethrough a risk with Eclypse Adherent Sacral Dressing? No. This dressing is designed to prevent strikethrough. A high moisture vapour transfer rate and water-resistent backing mean it is unlikely for strikethrough to occur.
6. How long can I leave my bandages on? Bandages should not be left in place for more than a week. However, they may need to be changed sooner if the bandages grow heavy or start to sag.
7. What is the maximum fluid capacity of the Eclypse Adherent Sacral Dressing? These bandages can absorb a maximum of 6,000 grams per square meter in five minutes.
8. Should I use an adherent or non-adherent version of this product? If the skin is fragile or sensitive, non-adherent dressing is always the best choice.
9. What can I use to secure Eclypse Adherent Sacral Dressing? Tubular or compression should be used if extra security is needed.
