Description
 

Cavi-Care* Cavity Foam Dressing

Cavi-Care conforming foam dressing has been designed to provide a regime to treat moist, low-exuding granulating cavity wounds.  The two liquid components (A and B) are mixed together and poured into the moist cavity wound where they form a white foam which conforms to the contours of the wound.

 
Features
 

  • Fits all wound shapes
  • Helps create and maintain a moist wound environment
  • Prevents premature wound closure
  • Provides patient comfort
  • Economical and convenient

 
Benefits
 

Fits All Wound Shapes
Cavi-Care dressing expands and cures within the cavity wound making it the only dressing that conforms exactly to the wound, including irregularly shaped wounds.  It is a three-dimensional dressing that forms a stent in the wound cavity.

Maintains a Moist Wound Environment
The distinctive method of producing Cavi-Care conforming foam wound dressing insitu generates a controlled cellular structure which helps to create a moist wound environment.

Prevents Premature Wound Closure
The unique ability of Cavi-Care to conform to the exact wound contours allows the wound to remain open and thereby prevents premature wound closure.

Provides Patient Comfort
The soft and resilient nature of Cavi-Care combined with the exact conformity of the dressing provide added comfort and convenience for the patient.  Cavi-Care is less traumatic to the wound than conventional gauze packing.

Economical and Convenient
Cavi-Care can be removed, cleansed, and replaced in the wound.  Alternatively, a new dressing can be made on a regular basis.
