Granuflex Bordered Dressings

Indications

Bordered Granuflex is indicated in the treatment of chronic exuding wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure sores, minor burns, donor sites, (after haemostasis has been achieved), and other types of granulating wounds. If applied to wounds containing dry slough or necrosis , the dressing prevents the loss of water vapour from the surface of the skin, and this effectively rehydrates the dead tissue, which is then removed by autolysis.

Precautions

Colonisation of chronic wounds is common and is not a contraindication to the use of Improved Formulation Granuflex. Where systemic or local infection develops during the use of the dressing, appropriate adjunctive therapy should be initiated. The use of Improved Formulation Granuflex may be continued but the progress of the wound should be monitored carefully and all treatment should be under medical supervision. The use of Granuflex in the presence of anaerobic infection is not recommended. Inappropriate use or too frequent dressing changes may result in skin irritation or stripping.
