Antibacterial Wound Dressing for Healing Smith & Nephew Iodoflex with Iodine 6 x 8 cm in a Set of 3 Pieces

Effective Cleaning and Accelerated Healing of Complex Wounds

The professional medical dressing Iodoflex from the world-renowned British manufacturer Smith & Nephew is specially designed for the treatment of severe, long-lasting, non-healing, infected, and exuding wounds. The product represents a unique intelligent system that simultaneously addresses two crucial tasks: deep cleaning of the wound surface from pus, necrotic tissues, exudate, and providing continuous antibacterial protection. The use of this dressing material allows for a significant reduction in the treatment time of chronic skin lesions, prevents the development of severe infectious complications, and accelerates the process of natural tissue regeneration.

Unique Cadexomer Microsphere Technology

The basis of the dressing's therapeutic action is the patented cadexomer — a high-tech granular matrix consisting of microscopic spheres of modified starch. When applied to the wound, these microspheres actively absorb wound discharge, bacteria, toxins, and tissue breakdown, acting as a powerful sponge pump. As the liquid is absorbed, the granules swell, creating an ideal soft moist microenvironment on the wound surface. This environment is a key factor for painless cleaning of the wound bed (autolytic debridement) and active growth of new healthy cells.

Controlled Antiseptic Action of Iodine

Within the polymer matrix of cadexomer, the active antiseptic — molecular iodine at a concentration of 0.9% — is evenly distributed. The release of iodine occurs strictly dosed and purposefully: only when the dressing absorbs exudate and the microspheres begin to swell. This mechanism guarantees a prolonged antibacterial effect directly at the infection site. At the same time, the cytotoxic effect on young granulation tissues, typical of regular alcohol or aqueous iodine solutions, is excluded. The antiseptic effectively destroys a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms, including resistant strains of bacteria, viruses, and fungal flora, completely destroying dangerous bacterial biofilms.

Ease of Use and Atraumatic Dressing

The ointment structure of the Iodoflex tile is covered on both sides with a protective gauze mesh, which facilitates modeling and application. The material is highly flexible: the dressing can be easily cut or shaped to fit the individual contours and depth of the wound defect. As the therapeutic resource is depleted and saturated with exudate, the dressing changes its original color to white, serving as a visual signal for medical personnel or the patient about the need for dressing change. By maintaining a consistently moist environment, the material does not adhere to the wound surface, is removed in one layer without residue, and does not injure granulations, ensuring complete painlessness and comfort for the patient.

Main Clinical Indications for Use

The complex is recommended for use in surgical, dermatological, and burn practice for the therapy of the following pathologies:

• Chronic varicose and venous trophic ulcers of the lower limbs.

• Diabetic foot ulcers in diabetic foot syndrome.

• Bedsores of various localizations in bedridden patients at all stages of exudation.

• Infected postoperative wounds, fistulas, and skin defects.

• Traumatic injuries, deep abrasions, and wound surfaces with signs of bacterial infection.
