KCI TIELLE Plus Adhesive Hydropolymer Wound Dressing, Foam, 15cm x 20cm
PRODUCT DETAILS
Has a pretty unique way of dealing with wound exudate: As exudate is absorbed by the dressing, it is designed to expand and conform to the contours of the wound bed, which helps minimise exudate build-up and the chance of maceration, under normal use, the LiquaLock® technology locks fluid into the cell walls, which means reduced potential for it to be released back into the wound, vapour-permeable backing allows moisture vapour to transfer through the back of the dressing, allowing for absorption of additional exudate.
Easy to use: allow repositioning as needed on initial application yet stay where placed.
Control leakage and odour for better patient quality of life.
Cost-effective.
Provide a wear time of up to seven days depending on wound condition and exudate level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is foam dressing used for?
A: Foam dressings are used for moderate to heavily exuding wounds such as pressure ulcers, post-surgical wounds, diabetic ulcers, and traumatic wounds. They absorb fluid, protect the wound, and support healing.
Q: How often should foam dressings be changed?
A: Foam dressings are typically changed every 3 to 7 days or as needed depending on the amount of exudate. Always follow the wound care professional’s recommendations.
Q: How do foam dressings work?
A: Foam dressings absorb exudate while keeping the wound moist. They help prevent infection, reduce pain, and protect the wound from external contaminants.
Q: Can foam dressings be used on infected wounds?
A: Some foam dressings are formulated with antimicrobial agents suitable for infected wounds. Always consult with a healthcare provider before applying to an infected site.
Q: Are foam dressings suitable for dry wounds?
A: Foam dressings are typically not recommended for dry wounds because they are designed to absorb moisture. Hydrogel dressings may be more appropriate for dry or necrotic wounds.
Q: Do foam dressings stick to wounds?
A: Non-adherent foam dressings do not stick to wounds and are gentle during removal. Adhesive foam dressings stick around the wound, not directly on it.
