Product Name: PIC Aquabloc 5x7cm
Description:
PIC Aquabloc 5x7cm is a sterile, waterproof adhesive wound dressing designed for effective wound care management. Each dressing measures 5 cm x 7 cm and provides a reliable barrier against water, dirt, and bacteria while allowing the skin to breathe, which supports the natural healing process. This medical device is intended for external use on minor cuts, abrasions, superficial wounds, and post-injection or post-procedural sites. The innovative Aquabloc technology ensures strong adhesion and long-lasting protection, making it suitable for use during showering and normal daily activities. It is appropriate for both adults and children, and is generally suitable for sensitive skin.
Indications:
- Protection of minor cuts, grazes, and superficial wounds
- Covering small surgical incisions or post-injection sites as advised by a healthcare professional
- Waterproof protection to allow showering without wetting the wound
- Barrier against external contaminants such as water, dirt, and bacteria
- Daily wound care and protection in home, clinic, or travel settings
- Suitable for use on generally sensitive or delicate skin, unless individual allergy to components exists
Active Ingredients / Key Components:
- Sterile absorbent pad – designed to absorb minor exudate and protect the wound
- Waterproof polyurethane film – provides a waterproof and bacteria-resistant barrier while remaining breathable
- Hypoallergenic adhesive – skin-friendly adhesive for secure fixation and long wear
- Sterile individual packaging – each dressing is individually wrapped to maintain sterility until use
Dosage & Administration / How to Use:
- Preparation: Wash hands thoroughly before handling the dressing.
- Wound cleansing: Gently clean the wound with suitable wound cleanser or sterile saline and carefully dry the surrounding skin.
- Opening the pack: Open the sterile pouch carefully without touching the central absorbent pad.
- Application: Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive side.
- Placement: Position the absorbent pad directly over the wound, ensuring full coverage of the injured area.
- Fixation: Press gently but firmly around the adhesive border to secure the dressing and avoid wrinkles or air pockets.
- Duration of use: Change the dressing at least once daily or whenever it becomes wet, loose, or visibly soiled, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
- Removal: Gently lift one corner of the dressing and slowly peel back along the skin to minimize discomfort and skin irritation.
