Innovative Therapies ITI Bridging Set
PRODUCT DETAILS
With bridging, the clinician can locate connection ports away from the wound site. This is a compelling benefit for areas in danger of tube-to-skin pressure, such as sacral wounds. For areas such as a foot’s plantar surface or heel, bridging to remote connection ports promotes a tight seal and patient ease of movement. Addressing multiple wounds or very small wounds, the clinician can bridge one wound to another, or bridge multiple wounds to a common connection point.
Specialized foam composition: Larger pores and lower density than standard black foam to keep cells open and fluid moving.
Optimal dimensions: Foam length, width, and depth designed for maximum flow.
Ideally suited for ITI’s groundbreaking dual-modality therapy: NPWT with irrigation. As needed, two bridges can be employed, one for suction and one for irrigation.
A single set accommodates a dressing change: 2 hydrophobic foam bridges (35cm x 4cm x 2.5cm) and 2 polyurethane drapes.

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.
