No more trauma
Around the world, burn patients have suffered enough. Therefore, burn survivors need the best possible treatment that reduces additional trauma in the most gentle way.
No more compromises
Effective burn healing
Undisturbed wound healing should be promoted. Using dressings that minimize the risk of maceration, provide an antimicrobial barrier and allow for long wear-time is essential. Pain and stress are contributors to delayed wound healing, therefore it is also key to select a dressing that minimizes additional trauma.1
Patient satisfaction
Experiencing pain and distress is not only a bad foundation for healing, it is also agonizing for the patient. Choosing a dressing that minimizes pain and anxiety at dressing change will contribute to higher patient satisfaction.
Cost-effectiveness
Cost-effectiveness is an important factor in implementing a treatment regimen for burns. Dressings associated with fewer dressing changes, nursing time, or analgesic use can reduce total cost of care.
