Product Description
TIELLE TLN0505EN DRESSING TIELLE HYDROPOLYMER NON-ADH 5 x 5cm CT/10
Tielle is an island dressing with a multi-layered structure consisting of a thin sheet of hydrophilic absorbent polyurethane foam applied to the centre of thin polyurethane foam membrane coated with an acrylic adhesive.
A piece of non-woven fabric located between the foam island and the adhesive backing acts as a wicking layer and facilitates uniform dispersion of exudate throughout the absorbent layer.
When placed upon an exuding wound, the absorbent central island takes up liquid and expands to take up the shape of the wound bed.
The wound contact surface of the dressing is covered with two pieces paper coated with a release agent that act as a carrier and facilitate application.
Tielle is waterproof and the polyurethane foam backing forms an effective barrier to bacteria under normal conditions of use. The polyurethane foam backing is highly permeable to moisture vapour, a property that makes an important contribution to the total fluid-handling characteristics of the dressing.
