Advazorb Areola - Absorbent foam areola dressing with Silfix soft silicone adhesive border
Suitable for moderate/low exudate levels





Product Description
Advazorb Areola is an innovative breast dressing, ergonomically designed to fit the contours of the breast making dressing application, easy, quick and comfortable for the patient.
Designed in collaboration with Nottingham University Hospitals and Nottingham Breast Institute, Advazorb Areola fulfils a very specific need – a protective and secure breast dressing that reduces the need for clinicians to create their own dressing from a patchwork of square dressings.
Advazorb Areola combines Silfix soft silicone with conformable, absorbent foam to deliver excellent patient comfort, effective exudate management, secure fixation and atraumatic removal. The central hole prevents pressure on the nipple, including incisions to accommodate larger nipples, and a low friction backing prevents uncomfortable snagging on clothes.
Instructions for Use
Remove the clear plastic liners and place directly onto the wound ensuring the absorbent pad covers the entire wound area with an overlap of 1-2cm. Can be used under compression. Secure in place with tape, appropriate bandage or film dressing.
Frequency of change
The dressing can be left in place for up 7 days but should be changed when exudate is visible in the centre pad or the pad swells due to absorbed exudate.
Indications
Shaped to enable use on the areola, suitable for acute and chronic wounds, including traumatic wounds, surgical wounds, abrasions.
Contra-indications
Arterial bleeds and heavily bleeding wounds. Do not use if allergic to silicone.
