Smith & Nephew Viscopaste PB7 Zinc Impregnated Dressing 3" x 10 Yd Roll Open Weave Fabric

Product Overview

Smith & Nephew Viscopaste PB7 is a clinically proven zinc oxide impregnated dressing designed for the management of venous leg ulcers, stasis eczema, and other inflammatory skin conditions. The dressing consists of an open-weave fabric evenly impregnated with zinc oxide paste, which provides a soothing and protective barrier. This 3-inch by 10-yard roll offers ample material for multiple applications or for covering larger areas. The zinc oxide helps reduce inflammation and promote healing, while the flexible fabric conforms comfortably to the contours of the leg.

Key Features and Benefits

• Zinc Oxide Impregnation: Zinc oxide is known for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and protective properties, helping to calm irritated skin and support the healing process.
• Open Weave Fabric: The breathable fabric allows for moisture vapor transmission, reducing the risk of maceration while maintaining a moist wound environment conducive to healing.
• Conformable and Comfortable: The dressing easily wraps around the leg and stays in place, providing consistent pressure and protection without restricting movement.
• Versatile Size: At 3 inches wide and 10 yards long, this roll can be cut to desired lengths for various wound sizes or used as a continuous wrap.
• Trusted Brand: Smith & Nephew is a global leader in wound care, ensuring high-quality and reliable products.

How to Use

Clean and dry the wound area thoroughly before application. Apply the dressing directly to the affected area, wrapping the leg from the base of the toes to just below the knee. Overlap each turn by approximately 50% to ensure even coverage. The dressing can be used alone or under compression bandages as part of a multi-layer compression therapy system. Change the dressing as directed by a healthcare professional, typically every 2 to 7 days depending on exudate levels and clinical condition.

Who It Is For

It is suitable for use under the guidance of a healthcare professional, such as a wound care nurse or dermatologist. The dressing is designed for adults and should not be used on children without medical advice.
