Wound exudate is the ideal culture medium for bacteria. For this reason, it is very important, that any absorbed fluid is kept away from the wound, in order to prevent the growth of bacteria and the complications related to this.

The innovative DryBarrier Technology makes sure that any wound exudate is absorbed away from the wound and bound safely into the wound pad – even under pressure. In addition, the special material of the wound contact layer prevents sticking to the wound, and thus enables low-pain removal of the dressing. ... study results

Potentially every postoperative wound is at risk and an easy target for bacteria and infections in case of insufficient protection. It is only after about 48 hours that a wound closure at the surface has formed which offers a sufficient protection.

The prerequisite is that the culture medium for the growth of bacteria is withdrawn, which will be successful only, if perfect wound covering and rest of the wound is ensured.

Cosmopor products with DryBarrier Technology are particularly suitable for the treatment of surgical wounds. ... study results

In the treatment of superficial wounds, such as abrasions, it is important to use a wound dressing with a high absorption capacitiy to absorb away high levels of exudate. The high absorption capacity as well as the special properties of the wound contact layer, which prevent sticking to the wound, are decisive for ensuring optimum wound treatment.

Deep cuts or stab wounds are wounds at risk of infection. In order to guarantee safe wound protection, a dressing’s high absorption capacity can minimize the medium for the growth of bacteria. Bacteria are destroyed within the wound pad of Cosmopor Antibacterial by the silver ions, which are activated by the moist environment.

Cosmopor products with DryBarrier Technology have been developed especially for the treatment of acute wounds. ... study results
