Key Features of Tielle Plus Borderless Dressings

Tielle Plus Borderless has a multi-layered structure consisting of a sheet of hydrophilic absorbent polyurethane foam bonded to a thin polyurethane foam membrane between which is sandwiched a fibrous fleece containing a mixture of viscose and superabsorbent acrylate fibres. When placed upon an exuding wound, the absorbent foam wound contact layer initially takes up liquid and expands to take up the shape of the wound bed. Excess fluid not retained by this layer is then drawn into the inner core of the dressing by the viscose fibres and taken up by the highly absorbent acrylate fibres to form a stable gel. The polyurethane foam backing forms an effective barrier to bacteria under normal conditions of use but is highly permeable to moisture vapour, a property that makes an important contribution to the total fluid-handling characteristics of the dressing. Indications Tielle Plus Borderless is indicated for use on most types of heavily exuding wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure sores and fungating wounds, particularly those where the use of an adhesive dressing may be inappropriate.
