3M™ Adaptic™ Oil Emulsion Impregnated Knitted Dressing | 3" x 3"

The 3M™ Adaptic™ Oil Emulsion Impregnated Knitted Dressing is a versatile, non-adherent primary wound dressing designed to protect wounds while minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes. The dressing, measuring 3 inches by 3 inches, is impregnated with a specially formulated oil emulsion, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of wound types and stages, including burns, lacerations, abrasions, and skin grafts.

Key Features:

1. Non-Adherent Design:

• The dressing is made from a knitted cellulose acetate fabric that does not adhere to the wound bed. This non-adherent property helps to minimize pain and trauma to the wound site during dressing changes, promoting patient comfort and faster healing.

Oil Emulsion Impregnation:

• Impregnated with a light oil emulsion, the dressing provides a moist wound environment, which is conducive to healing. The oil emulsion prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound, making dressing changes easier and less painful.

Flexible and Conformable:

• The knitted structure of the dressing allows it to conform closely to body contours, maintaining intimate contact with the wound surface. This flexibility helps ensure that the dressing stays in place, even on difficult-to-dress areas.

Versatility for Various Wounds:

• Suitable for a wide range of wound types, including partial- and full-thickness wounds, donor sites, abrasions, and skin grafts. The dressing can also be used in conjunction with other secondary absorbent dressings.

Reduced Maceration:

• Designed to prevent the pooling of exudate, reducing the risk of maceration (softening and breaking down of skin) around the wound edges. This helps maintain the integrity of the surrounding skin and promotes better healing outcomes.

Benefits:

• Minimizes Pain and Trauma: Non-adherent properties make dressing changes less painful, improving patient comfort.
• Maintains Moist Environment: Helps to create a moist wound healing environment, which is critical for faster and more efficient healing.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for a variety of wound types, making it a valuable addition to any wound care protocol.
• Easy to Use: The dressing's flexibility and non-stick properties make it easy to apply and remove, reducing the time needed for wound care.

Packaging and Availability: The 3M™ Adaptic™ Oil Emulsion Impregnated Knitted Dressing is available in a 3" x 3" size, individually wrapped to maintain sterility. The dressings are supplied in convenient packs, making them easy to store and readily available for use.
