DracoFoam easyfix foam wound dressing with silicone strips

Properties and effects

DracoFoam easyfix is ​​a sterile, hydrophilic polyurethane foam dressing with gently adhesive silicone strips for the treatment of acute and chronic wounds with high exudate levels. It absorbs and retains excess wound exudate while maintaining a moist wound environment. The flexible polyurethane foam conforms to the wound bed and has a high exudate absorption capacity. Excess fluid is transported towards the polyurethane membrane, where it can evaporate. The polyurethane film prevents exudate from leaking out and acts as a barrier against external pathogens. Thanks to the silicone strips, the dressing stays in place and facilitates fixation, as both hands remain free for the fixation material. DracoFoam easyfix can be used by both medical professionals and laypersons in home, outpatient, and inpatient settings.

Areas of application

DracoFoam easyfix is ​​suitable for wounds with heavy exudate, both superficial and deep, acute and chronic wounds. These include, for example, leg ulcers (venous, arterial, mixed), pressure ulcers, and diabetic foot syndrome. The dressing can also be used on split-thickness skin graft donor sites, postoperative wounds, and burns up to the second degree.

Application

Before application, clean the wound and thoroughly dry the surrounding skin. Remove DracoFoam easyfix from its sterile individual packaging and place the unprinted foam side onto the wound. Ensure that the silicone strips are not in direct contact with the wound. Secure the dressing with suitable fixation material, such as gauze or elastic bandages, and ensure that the dressing adequately covers the wound edges. The dressing can be cut to size with sterile scissors and can also be used as part of compression therapy. Deeper wounds should be packed with suitable material beforehand, if necessary, according to local treatment standards. Depending on the wound condition and amount of exudate, DracoFoam easyfix can remain on the wound for up to 7 days. The printed exudate grid facilitates the assessment of the exudate volume; the dressing must be changed at the latest when the exudate reaches the edge of the dressing.

Warnings and important information

DracoFoam easyfix should not be used on excessively dry wounds or in cases of known hypersensitivity to polyurethane or silicone (adhesive). The product is not suitable for treating third-degree burns. The dressing should not be used as a tamponade. Combining it with oxidizing solutions such as hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide can impair the product's properties and wound healing and should therefore be avoided. Medical advice should be sought if the wound condition stagnates or worsens; in critically colonized or infected wounds, use should only be considered at the discretion of a physician and with appropriate infection control, possibly with a shortened dressing duration and regular medical monitoring. If the sterile barrier system is damaged or accidentally opened before use, the product must no longer be used. DracoFoam easyfix is ​​intended for single use only; reuse or reprocessing may impair performance, disrupt wound healing, and increase the risk of infection. After use, the product can be disposed of with household waste.
