Stratasorb Composite Island Wound Dressing - Waterproof Multi-Layer Sterile Bandage

Advanced Waterproof Wound Protection with Four-Layer Technology

The Stratasorb Composite Island Dressing represents a breakthrough in advanced wound care management, combining waterproof protection with intelligent moisture control to accelerate healing. This premium multi-layer wound dressing is engineered to protect wounds from external contaminants while creating an optimal moist healing environment that promotes faster tissue regeneration and patient comfort throughout the recovery process.

Designed with clinical versatility in mind, this sterile, latex-free dressing delivers secure adhesion without trauma during removal, making it the ideal choice for post-operative incisions, pressure ulcers, diabetic wounds, and partial to full thickness wounds across diverse care settings. Whether used in hospitals, outpatient clinics, long-term care facilities, or home healthcare environments, this dressing provides reliable, extended wear performance that reduces dressing change frequency and improves patient outcomes.

Key Clinical Benefits

• Waterproof & Breathable Barrier: Advanced semi-occlusive polyurethane film layer shields wounds from external moisture, bacteria, and contaminants while permitting essential oxygen and moisture vapor exchange to support optimal wound healing conditions
• Latex-Free Medical Grade Construction: Completely safe for patients with latex allergies or sensitivities, ensuring universal compatibility across all patient populations without risk of allergic reactions
• Versatile Rectangular Design: Precision-engineered shape provides excellent coverage for post-surgical incisions, linear wounds, and general wound protection applications with minimal waste
• Dual-Purpose Secondary Dressing: Functions independently as a primary dressing or can be layered over existing primary dressings to enhance absorption capacity and provide additional protective coverage
• Extended 7-Day Wear Time: Engineered for prolonged wear up to seven days depending on exudate levels and clinical assessment, reducing dressing change frequency, minimizing wound disturbance, and lowering overall treatment costs
• Sterile & Ready for Immediate Use: Each dressing is individually packaged in sterile conditions, ensuring hygienic application in clinical, surgical, and home care environments without additional preparation
• Gentle Atraumatic Removal: Specialized adhesive border provides secure fixation during wear while enabling pain-free, tissue-friendly removal that protects fragile granulation tissue and periwound skin integrity

Innovative Four-Layer Construction Technology

Each Stratasorb dressing features a sophisticated four-layer design where every component serves a specific therapeutic function:

• Layer 1 - Non-Adherent Contact Surface: Ultra-gentle wound contact layer prevents adhesion to delicate granulating tissue, new epithelium, and healing wound beds, eliminating pain and tissue trauma during dressing changes
• Layer 2 - High-Absorbency Core Pad: Soft, highly absorbent central pad efficiently wicks away and locks in wound exudate, drainage, and fluids to maintain a balanced moisture level that supports cellular migration and tissue repair
• Layer 3 - Secure Adhesive Border Frame: Hypoallergenic non-woven backing with medical-grade adhesive border ensures the contact pad remains firmly positioned over the wound site without shifting, wrinkling, or edge lift during patient movement
• Layer 4 - Semi-Occlusive Protective Film: Transparent polyurethane top film creates a waterproof, bacteria-resistant barrier that blocks external contaminants while maintaining an optimal moist wound environment and allowing visual wound assessment without removal

Clinical Indications & Applications

• Post-operative surgical incisions and wound sites
• Pressure injuries and ulcers (Stage I-IV)
• Diabetic foot ulcers and neuropathic wounds
• Venous and arterial leg ulcers
• Partial-thickness wounds with light to moderate exudate
• Full-thickness wounds requiring secondary coverage
• Abrasions, lacerations, and traumatic wounds
• Donor sites and skin graft protection
• General wound protection and moisture management

Important Contraindications

• Not intended for use on third-degree burns or full-thickness thermal injuries
• Do not use on patients with documented hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to any dressing component or materials
• Not recommended for heavily draining wounds that exceed the absorption capacity of the dressing

Step-by-Step Application Instructions

1. Prepare the wound site: Cleanse and dry the wound and surrounding periwound skin according to facility protocol or healthcare provider instructions
2. Open sterile package: Carefully remove the dressing from its protective sterile pouch using aseptic technique
3. Position first side: Peel away one release liner and gently apply the exposed adhesive border to one side of the wound, ensuring the absorbent pad is centered over the wound bed
4. Smooth and secure: Gently smooth the applied border onto the skin surface, working from the center outward to eliminate air pockets and wrinkles
5. Complete application: Remove the remaining release liner and press the opposite adhesive border firmly onto the skin, ensuring complete contact and seal around all edges
6. Verify placement: Confirm the dressing is properly positioned with the absorbent pad fully covering the wound and all adhesive borders securely adhered to intact periwound skin

Removal & Change Frequency Guidelines

Removal Technique: To remove the dressing, gently lift one corner and slowly peel the dressing away from the skin at a low angle, supporting the skin with your other hand to minimize discomfort and prevent skin stripping.

Change Frequency: Replace the dressing based on the volume of wound drainage, clinical assessment of wound progress, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Under normal conditions with light to moderate exudate, the dressing may remain in place for up to 7 days. Change immediately if the dressing becomes saturated, loosened, or compromised.

Storage & Handling Precautions

• Do not cut, trim, or modify the dressing as this may compromise the sterile barrier and waterproof seal
• Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources
• Protect from freezing temperatures and excessive heat exposure
• Single-use only - do not reuse or resterilize
• Check package integrity before use; do not use if package is damaged or opened
• Dispose of used dressings according to local medical waste regulations
