Wound Dressings - Zetuvit E Dressing Pad
Zetuvit® E: Expertly crafted for heavy exudation with natural healing in focus.
Zetuvit® E is a non-irritant and highly absorbent dressing pad, expertly designed for wounds exhibiting moderate to heavy exudation across all medical spheres. Comprising a hydrophobic, non-woven polypropylene exterior, its core is enriched with fluff pulp and fluid-dispersing tissue, ensuring optimal exudate absorption and retention. This minimises maceration risks to both the wound and its surrounding tissue. The pad's distinct blue, hydrophobic backing serves as a robust barrier against contamination, always intended to face outward from the wound. Its hypoallergenic fibres, permeable to air and water, champion the skin's natural healing process whilst reducing the risk of irritation. Zetuvit® E is a holistic, multi-layered wound care solution designed for superior absorption, protection, and promotion of natural healing.

What are Zetuvit E High Absorbent Dressing Pads used for?
Zetuvit® E dressing pads are specifically designed to manage heavily exuding wounds, offering a robust shield against infection while ensuring the wound is well-cushioned. Their fluid-dispersing tissue enhances absorbency, swiftly soaking up and retaining wound exudate, which in turn mitigates the risk of maceration to both the wound and the tissue that surrounds it.
These versatile pads easily fit beneath bandages, ensuring they remain securely in place. In healthcare, Zetuvit® E Sterile dressings stand out as the go-to choice for treating exuding wounds, no matter the medical setting.
For those in the sporting arena, speed and efficiency in wound treatment can make all the difference. Zetuvit® E pads, with their non-adherent, non-woven polypropylene make-up, ensure rapid absorption and an effective defence against contamination. This means injured players can receive swift, effective care, promoting a quicker return to the game.
Whether it's for general wound care, cushioning protection, or a sports-related injury, Zetuvit® E serves as a reliable solution to ensure optimal healing and protection.
How do you use these Dressing Pads?
- Preparation: Before applying the dressing, ensure that the wound and surrounding skin are clean and dry. Consider using antiseptic if needed.
- Orientation: When positioning the dressing over the wound, ensure the blue backing faces upwards and away from the wound. This blue layer acts as a barrier, optimising protection.
- Secure in Place: For added stability, especially on joints or areas of movement, the dressing can be secured using a bandage or medical tape.
Storage: Store your Zetuvit® E pads in a cool, dry place, shielding them from direct sunlight to preserve their quality.
Caution: For the integrity of the pad and optimum results, avoid cutting the dressing. Cutting could lead to frayed edges, which might compromise the protective properties of the dressing.
Following these steps will ensure the dressing functions optimally, promoting faster healing and offering the necessary protection against contaminants. Always be sure to monitor the wound and change dressings as required. If unsure or if complications arise, consult with a medical professional.
When to Seek Medical Assistance
Zetuvit® E is adept at managing wound exudate, but it's essential to be vigilant about potential complications. If you notice any of the following signs or symptoms while using the dressing, consult a medical professional promptly:
- Increased Pain: A significant rise in pain could point towards infection or other wound complications.
- Redness or Swelling: Indicators of possible inflammation or infection.
- Fever or Chills: Systemic symptoms such as these may hint at a more severe, spreading infection or even sepsis.
- Odour or Pus: A foul smell or the appearance of pus often suggests a bacterial infection.
- Excessive Exudate: Rapid saturation of the dressing or increased wound fluid may require professional evaluation.
- Discoloured or Dead Tissue: Tissues that are black, brown, or yellow and don’t bleed on touch could indicate necrosis.
- Expanding Wound: A wound that grows instead of heals is a matter of concern.
- Allergic Reactions: Symptoms like itching, rashes, or heightened skin irritation around the wound might indicate an allergic response.
- Stagnation: If the wound shows no signs of improvement over a reasonable period.
- Foreign Objects: Seek immediate help if you suspect something is embedded in the wound, such as splinters or glass.
Your well-being is paramount. If ever in doubt about your wound's status or the suitability of the dressing, it's always wise to seek expert advice. Proper wound care is essential, and unforeseen complications can emerge that require a professional's insight.
