WoundFLEX® Hemostatic Assist Compression Dressing

WoundFLEX® is a flexible, stretchable, general-use, sterile compression dressing. WoundFLEX is especially useful for adjunctive compression over the top of hemostatic dressings such as BloodSTOP® iX Advanced Hemostat with WoundHEAL® and Trauma Matrix.

It applies uniform pressure, sealing the wound evenly for rapid hemostasis.

Its non-adherent surface property allows it to be removed without disruption to the clot, minimizing the chance of rebleeding.

 

BloodSTOP® iX Advanced Hemostat and WoundFLEX® Compression Dressing

– a perfect pairing for Burn and Trauma Surgery

BloodSTOP iX Advanced Hemostat have been effectively used in burn surgeries for both post eschar debridement and management of split-thickness skin graft at donor site, and for damage control in trauma surgeries. BloodSTOP iX is used for rapid hemostasis as it absorbs blood and exudates, turns into a translucent gel to seal the wound, reduces blood utilization, and facilitates proliferation of skin growth within 7 days in full-thickness burns.

Now with WoundFLEX Compression Dressing, surgeons have a new choice when adjunctive pressure is needed. Its non-adherent surface property (sterile, flexible and stretchable):

  • provides uniform pressure over the BloodSTOP iX hemostatic gel, sealing the wound evenly, accelerating the clotting process
  • protects fragile skin, promotes better circulation of damaged tissue and provides vascular support
  • allows easy removal without disrupting the clotting to promote healing, minimizing the chance of rebleeding
