MedCu Copper Alginate Dressing is an advanced wound dressing that manages exudate, provides antimicrobial protection, and supports the healing of acute and chronic wounds.
Key Features:
- Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Protection – Helps protect against wound pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as MRSA and VRE.
- Helps Reduce Biofilm Formation – Copper has demonstrated the ability to break down biofilms, a key barrier to healing in chronic wounds.
- Reduces Chronic Inflammation – Copper’s anti-inflammatory properties help create a more favorable wound healing environment.
- Supports Wound Healing – Copper ions help promote tissue regeneration, supporting faster progression through the healing process.
Available Sizes
Mechanism of Action:
MedCu dressings are applied directly to the wound surface and feature an absorbent wound-contact layer and a non-adherent outer layer, both infused with copper oxide particles. As the dressing interacts with the wound environment, copper ions are continuously released, helping maintain a protective wound environment through broad-spectrum antibacterial activity.
Indications:
MedCu Copper Alginate Dressing is intended for the management of wounds, including:
- Diabetic Wounds
- Leg & Foot Ulcers
- Pressure Ulcers
- First and Second-Degree Burns
- Surgical Wounds
Contraindications:
- Patients with known sensitivity or allergy to copper
Instructions for Use:
1. Clean the wound with sterile saline water and dry surrounding skin gently.
2. Select the appropriate size of the dressing to cover the wound adequately.
3. Apply the dressing to the wound, ensuring full contact with the wound bed.
4. Cover and secure dressing (non-adhesive) with a non-occlusive secondary dressing.
5. Dressing change frequency will depend on patient condition and the level of exudates. Initially it may be necessary to change dressing every 24 hours or until saturated.
6. Gently remove the secondary dressing. If the wound appears dry, saturate the dressing with sterile saline water prior to removal.
