MacMed - Dermis Plus Pad [Single] [10x10cm] [12mm]

$103.95
Tax included.

Dermis Plus is a range of pressure redistribution pads designed to help reduce the risk of pressure damage as part of a pressure ulcer prevention strategy. The products work by redistributing peak pressures and so reducing the risk of pressure related tissue damage.

Available as a sheet or strip, they can be used anywhere on the body identified as being ‘at risk’ including pressure damage associated with medical devices.

Fully washable and re-usable, hypoallergenic and odourless, the Dermis Plus contains a cross-linked three-dimensional polymer gel network infused with medical grade mineral oil that enables it to return to its original form as well as softening, moisturising and lubricating the skin.

A recent UK trial demonstrated that Dermis Plus is up to 10% more effective at distributing pressure than the leading competitor brand. The added benefit of the clear construction makes it easier to monitor skin integrity while in situ.

Does the patient or medical device still need re-positioning when using Dermis Plus?
