Please note that this Patient Guide is not intended to replace the Instructions for Use, which is intended for healthcare professionals.

KERRAFOAM™ GENTLE BORDER DRESSINGS and KERRAFOAM™ SIMPLE DRESSINGS are your pathway partner in helping with the clinical challenges of moisture along the whole exudate management pathway. These dressings manage the clinical challenges of moisture in and out of the wound. This document outlines the 5 challenges in wound healing and the vital detail to help you combat these challenges.

Introducing KERRALITE COOL™ Dressings – the next-generation hydrogel dressing. Maintaining the correct balance of moisture is vital for effective wound healing. KERRALITE COOL™ Dressings are soothing, debriding and moisturizing dressings that provide the ideal environment for managing lightly exuding sloughy wounds. KERRALITE COOL™ Dressings are strong, transparent hydrogel dressings that are impermeable to external contaminants such as bacteria, but permeable to moisture. This brochure discusses what KERRALITE COOL™ Dressings are designed to do and information on the dressing technology.

KERRAMAX CARE™ Dressings safely contain potential threats of chonic fluid using EXU-SAFE™ Technology. This advanced super-absorbent dressing system provides unique technologies and features to help clinicians mange highly exuding wounds. This guide discusses the 3 demands clinicians can confidently make – High Absorption and protection for patients – Effective sequestration and retention of bacteria and MMPs – Dressings to Support Patient Comfort.

KERRAMAX CARE™ Dressings can be used as either a primary or secondary dressing and can be folded or shaped to assist patient comfort. Suitable for use under all forms of compression, KERRAMAX CARE™ Dressings maintain integrity even when saturated. In addition, the dressings can reduce proteinases (MMPs) and bacteria such as MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the wound bed via sequestration. This guide includes ordering information for South African Healthcare Professionals.

KERRAFOAM™ SIMPLE DRESSINGS and KERRAFOAM™ Simple Border Dressings have been designed to absorb exudate from the wound bed, protect healthy peri-wound skin, and maintain an optimal moisture balance for healing. Indications: A wide range of low to moderately exuding wounds, such as leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, traumatic wounds, minor burns, donor sites, postoperative wounds and skin abrasions. This guide includes ordering information for South African Healthcare Professionals.

KERRACONTACT™ Ag Dressing is a silver dressing for chronic and acute wounds that utilizes Ag Oxysalts Technology. Ag Oxysalts (Ag3+) is a unique type of silver that is up to 6 times more powerful than Ag1+ while at the same time being gentle on patients and your budget. This guide provides case studies and further information on the dressings and includes ordering information for South African Healthcare Professionals.

KERRALITE COOL™ DRESSINGS Hydrogel Moisture Balancing Dressing is designed to encourage wound bed preparation, granulation and epithelialisation of chronic wounds, while minimizing pain levels. KERRALITE COOL™ Dressing utilises Pro-ionic® technology, which allow the dressing to donate or absorb fluid, depending upon the wound condition, interacts with proteins and ions .This helps reduce harmful proteases such as MMPs, and promote fresh fluid flow from underlying tissue, aiding autolytic and/or osmotic debridement. This guide provides further information on the technology, evidence and indications of the dressings.

KERRACEL™ Gelling Fiber Dressing is 100% carboxymethyl cellulose primary wound contact dressing for the management of exuding chronic and acute wounds. KERRACEL™ Dressings use the same gelling fiber as AQUACEL® and are soft, conformable, have a high absorbency capacity and retain dressing integrity upon removal from the wound/cavity. This guide runs through the indications, clinical studies and cost saving information of the dressings.
 

Stretched budgets and expenditure are increasingly being scrutinised. KERRACEL™ Dressings provide you and your team the confidence to continue using gelling fiber dressings that provide excellent clinical outcomes at a considerably lower cost to that of other fiber dressings. This guide runs through those savings and clinical evidence and includes ordering information specific to the UK.
