Medline Optilock Non-Adhesive Super Absorbent Wound Dressing

Optilock Non-Adhesive Wound Dressing Features

Optilock Design Features

How Optilock Wound Dressing Works?

• Absorbs - Super absorbent polymer core efficiently absorbs high volumes of exudate. Gently absorbs exudate, even for the most heavily draining wounds
• Locks - Inside the core, exudate is converted into a gel that is kept firmly away from the wound, even under compression. Gently protects against maceration, including the periwound skin
• Adjusts - Continually adapt the absorption level to the amount of wound drainage. Gently provides an optimal moist wound healing environment
• Protects - Non-adherent wound contact layer prevents the Medline Optilock Dressing from sticking to the wound or periwound skin. Gently releases from the wound during dressing changes

When to use Medline Optilock Dressing?

• Pressure injuries
• Partial and full-thickness wounds
• Leg ulcers

How to use Optilock Wound Dressing?

1. Remove Optilock from the package.
2. Place white side of the dressing on the wound. Use a large enough dressing to cover the wound and surrounding skin.
3. Secure the dressing with tape or other secondary dressing such as elastic net.
