Product description: Cardinal Health™ Reinforced Gelling Fiber +Ag dressings are sterile, reinforced non-woven pads composed of a high G (guluronic acid) calcium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and ionic silver complex (silver sodium hydrogen zirconium phosphate), which release silver ions in the presence of wound fluid. As wound fluid is absorbed, the alginate forms a gel which assists in maintaining a moist environment for optimal wound healing.

• Silver ions protect the dressing from a broad spectrum of
  microorganisms over a period of up to fourteen (14) days, based on
  in-vitro testing
• Highly absorbent gelling fibers wick and retain exudate away
  from the wound bed
• Cohesive fiber construction facilitates easy intact/one-piece
  atraumatic removal
• Odor reduction results from the antibacterial effect in the dressing

Indications: Under the medical supervision of a healthcare professional for the management of moderate to heavy exuding, partial to full thickness wounds, including:

Pressure ulcers

• Leg ulcers
• Diabetic ulcers
• Post-operative surgical wounds
• First- and second-degree burns
• Graft and donor sites
• Trauma wounds (dermal lesions, trauma injuries or incisions)

Contraindications: Dry eschar, third-degree burns, direct application on dry or lightly exuding wounds, to control heavy bleeding and individuals with known sensitivity to alginates and/or silver.

Product description: Cardinal Health™ Hydrocolloid dressings help facilitate local wound healing. The dressing absorbs wound exudate and creates a moist environment which supports the body’s healing process and aids in the removal of nonviable tissue from the wound (autolytic debridement), without damaging new tissue. Cardinal Health™ Hydrocolloid dressings consist of a wound contact layer of hydrocolloids. The top layer is a semi-permeable, polyurethane film backing, which allows for circulation of O2, CO2 and water vapor, while excluding germs and water to protect the wound from external contamination.

• Propriety gelling formulation allows for most of the gel to be removed
  together with the dressing, resulting in little or no damage to the newly
  formed tissue
• Flexible, low-friction film backing reduces skin friction with clothing
  and patient bedding
• Moisture-resistance will remain in place during showering

Indications:

• Over the counter (OTC): For minor scalds and burns, minor cuts, lacerations and minor abrasions
• Under supervision of a healthcare professional: May be used for the management of light to moderately exuding partial and full thickness wounds including:

Product description: A multi-layer compression bandage system that provides reduced compression from the Cardinal Health™ Four-Layer Compression Bandage System. It is developed for the treatment of mixed etiology leg ulcers where some degree of arterial impairment prevents the use of full compression. For Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) >0.6.

• Maintains effective compression after application
• Provides higher pressure at the ankle, decreasing pressure
  at the calf to help improve upward blood flow
• May be left in place for up to one week
• Clean, quick and easy hand-tear
• Won’t stick to skin, hair or clothing
• Indications: May be used for the treatment of mixed etiology leg ulcers.

Contraindications: Do not use on patients with an Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) of less than 0.6 or on diabetic patients with advanced small vessel disease. Diabetics may have a false ABI due to calcification of peripheral arterial vessels. Always assess diabetics with additional clinical measures.

#1 Absorbent Padding Bandage helps absorb exudate and protect bony prominences

#2 Conformable Bandage helps absorb exudate and helps prepare and sculpt the leg for application of pressure

#4 Self-Adherent Cohesive Bandage applies compression and safely maintains the system in place for up to one week

Product description: A multi-layer compression bandage system used for the treatment of venous leg ulcers and related conditions. Ideal for patients with ankle circumferences greater than 18cm or 7/8 in. (padded) who have an ABI >0.8.

• Maintains effective compression after application
• Provides higher pressure at the ankle, decreasing pressure at the calf to help improve upward blood flow
• May be left in place for up to one week

Indications: May be used for the treatment of venous leg ulcers and related conditions.

Contraindications: Compression bandaging system should not be used on patients with an Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) of less than 0.8. An ABI of less than 0.8 may mean that the patient has arterial insufficiency and that the ulcer may not be simply a venostasis ulcer. Compression bandaging of a leg which already has a partially blocked blood supply could completely stop the flow of blood into the leg and lead to the death of the skin and muscle of the leg. Death of the muscle and skin of the leg could lead to further complications and possibly amputation of the leg.

#1 Absorbent Padding Bandage helps absorb exudate and protect bony prominences

#2 Conformable Bandage adds absorbency and smoothes out the first layer, preserving the elastic energy of the compression layers

#3 Compression Bandage provides light compression and is highly conformable to accommodate limb shapes

#4 Self-Adherent Cohesive Bandage applies compression and safely maintains the system in place for up to one week

• Clean, quick and easy hand-tear
• Won’t stick to skin, hair or clothing

Product description: Cardinal Health™ Hydrogel +Ag is an opaque, amorphous hydrogel containing an antimicrobial silver compound. The antimicrobial silver compound is an effective barrier to bacterial penetration that inhibits the growth of a broad spectrum of microorganisms that come into contact with the gel. This formulation increases the moisture within the wound through water donation, which makes the gel effective in assisting the debridement and desloughing process in dry necrotic wounds, while also maintaining a moist wound environment for optimal wound healing.
