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.

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. |
