Sell solutions for hard-to-dress areas
Eclypse® super absorbent dressings deliver quality performance in the controlled management of exudate. To help clinicians treat hard-to-dress areas, DUKAL has introduced the Eclypse Foot, Boot and Contour super-absorbent dressings in conjunction with Advancis Medical.
Why Eclypse?
Eclypse is a high-capacity wound dressing designed to absorb and retain fluid, reducing the potential for leaks and minimizing the risk of maceration (that is, the breakdown of skin due to prolonged exposure to moisture).
Eclypse has a rapid wicking face combined with a highly absorbent moisture locking system. The absorbent layer provides a large capacity with rapid fluid uptake. The bacteria- and viral-proof backing features a water-resistant barrier film to prevent strikethrough. And a high-moisture vapor transfer rate prolongs wear time. That’s important, because frequent dressing changes take up valuable time for the clinician and can be traumatic for the patient.
Eclypse dressings can be used safely under compression without affecting their absorbency, and they absorb excess matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and other factors that can inhibit wound healing.
Hard-to-dress areas
Traditionally, in order to treat hard-to-dress areas, clinicians have had to get creative and patch together dressings. But that’s time-consuming. What’s more, such dressings may fail to provide the same level of wound management as a single, well-fit dressing.
- Eclypse Foot uses the high-fluid-handling capabilities of the Eclypse range in a preshaped dressing designed to fit comfortably and effectively around the foot. It is simple to apply and offers enhanced patient comfort. Eclypse Foot is particularly useful when treating a diabetic foot ulcer.
- Eclypse Boot is anatomically designed to fit the lower limb and foot. Available in three sizes, Eclypse Boot has 12 super-absorbent, interconnected compartments to optimize absorbency. It significantly improves patient mobility, is easy to apply, and can be used under compression bandaging. The largest size dressing can hold up to a GALLON of fluid!
- Eclypse Contour provides a new design, which will mold to the body contours, ensuring optimum contact with the wound and effective exudate management. Eclypse Contour reduces nursing time and cost, as the dressing doesn’t need to be changed as often as others. Most important, the patient trauma associated with a high frequency of change is reduced.
