Profilm® -7000 Wound Dressings, 4 X 4 in(10 cm X 10 cm), 8Bxs/Cs

Profilm®-7000 is a transparent, highly breathable, 15 micron PU film, with adhesive border and adhesive free central area which prevents undesired adhesion with the wound bed and allows removal of the dressing without pain or trauma.

Absence of adhesive in the wound contact area allows a higher breathability than most transparent film dressings in the market. Moisture vapor transmission rate is up to 7000 g/m2/24hr.

The adhesive-free central area is highly transparent and clear, allowing easy monitoring of the healing process.   High breathability and waterproof properties allow moist environment which is highly favorable during the healing process.

The adhesive border secures the dressing to the healthy skin surrounding the wound bed. The adhesive border is either adhesive peripheral rim zone coated on the PU film or foam adhesive border to give a cushioning effect or nonwoven adhesive border for sensitive skin.
