We would like to introduce you to another new product. This is a transparent plaster, designed to close various types of wounds and fix catheters. The product consists of a fixing part made of transparent polyurethane film, and its edges are framed with a frame of siliconized paper.

Let's consider why reliable fixation of permanent and intravenous catheters, cannulas and other medical devices is important, as well as why it is necessary to protect radiotherapy marks with modern dressings with a transparent base.

What are the advantages of this product for fixation

Reliable attachment of permanent and intravenous catheters, cannulas and other medical devices to the body plays a critical role in clinical practice for several reasons:

  1. Proper fixation prevents the catheter from shifting or falling out. This problem leads to serious complications: thrombosis, infection or damage to blood vessels. When using catheters, it is important that they remain in place, since any displacement reduces functionality and increases the risk of negative consequences.
  2. Fixation helps ensure comfort. Poorly fixed devices cause pain and stress to a person. This negatively affects his general condition and slows down recovery.
  3. The use of modern dressings with a transparent base to protect radiation therapy marks has its advantages. They prevent erasure of markings and contamination of the skin. This is especially important in radiation therapy, where preserving marks on the skin is necessary for the accuracy of procedures.

The transparent base allows medical personnel to easily monitor the condition of the skin without having to remove the bandage, which reduces the risk of injury and infection.

Reliable fixation of medical devices with modern dressings is considered an integral part of safe and effective patient care. Their use contributes to both successful treatment and comfortable recovery.

What are the advantages of this product for wound care?

Dressings on a transparent base have the following advantages for closing postoperative wounds, burn surfaces, bedsores, donor areas and abrasions:

  • Visual control. The transparent base allows medical personnel to easily monitor the condition of the wound without having to remove the dressing. This reduces the risk of infection and reduces discomfort.
  • Waterproof. Transparent dressings have water-repellent properties. This helps protect the wound from moisture and dirt.
  • Convenience. Transparent dressings are thin and elastic. This property provides a greater degree of comfort for the patient and allows the person to move freely.
  • Stick resistance. These plasters have a special coating that prevents sticking to the wound, which reduces the risk of tissue damage when changing the dressing.
  • Moisture retention. The products maintain an optimal moisture level in the wound, which promotes rapid healing.
  • Ease of use. Transparent dressings adhere well to the skin even on complex body surfaces, which simplifies the dressing process. They are resistant to mechanical damage.

These advantages make transparent plasters effective and easy to use in various medical situations where wound dressing or fixation of medical devices is required.
