ESPUMA® Sealed Edges Heel is a cup shaped trilaminate construction made of soft, thick and elastic polyurethane foam, sandwiched between an outer most breathable polyurethane film and wound contacting TPU film. The edges of the outermost and the innermost polyurethane film are sealed together with a unique technique to prevent leakage when foam is saturated with exudates and upon compression, and the trilaminate is die cut into a cup shaped dressing that can fit the heel and elbow areas.

• Les trois couches du pansement agissent ensemble pour créer un environnement humide sur le site de la plaie, une forte capacité d’absorption et une durée d’utilisation plus longue sans macération.
• The sealed edges of the dressing allow longer wear time without risk of maceration of the skin surrounding the wound because exudates cannot leak laterally even when foam is saturated with exudates or compressed under a compression therapy.
• Réduit la fréquence de changement du pansement
• The wound contacting perforated film prevents adherence of foam to the wound, allowing removal without pain or trauma. It also regulates fluid uptake of foam.
• The cup shaped dressing well fits the elbow and heel areas which are hardly managed by traditional shapes of dressing.
• The outermost polyurethane film is highly breathable to allow absorbed exudates to evaporate, this increases the fluid handling capacity of foam in total.

ESPUMA® Sealed Edges Heel peut être utilisé pour les types de plaies et d'ulcères suivants avec un taux de drainage/exsudation modéré à important :

• Ulcères de pression de phase II et superficiels de phase III.
• Ulcères diabétiques de pied d’épaisseur pleine et partielle
• Ulcères veineux de la jambe.
• Ulcères artériels d’épaisseur pleine et partielle.
• Brûlures et écorchures de l'épaisseur partielle.
• Plaies chirurgicales ouvertes.
• Lésions cutanées. 

• Do not use with oxidizing agents as hypochlorite solutions or hydrogen peroxide solutions as this can breakdown the absorbent hydro cellular component of the dressing.
