LEUKOMED 10X25CM 10X25CM

About

Leukomed is a sterile, transparent film dressing meticulously designed for the secure and gentle fixation of wound dressings, particularly suited for post-operative wounds, and for securing medical devices. It comprises a highly conformable, thin polyurethane film, which is coated with a skin-friendly acrylic adhesive. The transparent nature of the dressing offers a significant clinical advantage by allowing continuous visual inspection of the wound site without the need for dressing removal, thereby minimizing disturbance to the healing process. This advanced film is both waterproof and bacteria-proof, providing an effective barrier against external contamination and reducing the risk of infection. Simultaneously, its breathable structure permits the escape of moisture vapor, which helps to prevent skin maceration, maintain a balanced moist wound environment conducive to optimal healing, and enhance patient comfort during wear.
