The Needle-punched Wadding Bandage 10x400 1PC is a soft and fluffy bandage, made of needle-punched wadding, specifically designed to ensure maximum comfort during bandaging. Suitable for use in healthcare, hospital, outpatient and home settings, this bandage represents a versatile and safe solution for the protection and support of different areas of the body. Thanks to its particular wadding structure, the bandage creates a protective and uniform layer that distributes pressure delicately, avoiding localized compression points and promoting skin transpiration. Its length of 400 cm makes it ideal for carrying out extensive bandages without the need for frequent joints, thus ensuring better stability of the entire dressing. The large width of 10 cm allows you to easily cover even the largest areas, ensuring complete protection. Soft to the touch and free of irritating components, it is suitable for direct contact with the skin and also perfect for sensitive patients or those subject to frequent dressing changes.
Therapeutic Indications
The Needled Wadding Bandage 10x400 1PC is recommended for use in the creation of protective bandages on wounds, traumas, skin lesions, burns or in the presence of surgical dressings. It can be used as an intermediate layer between the skin and a compressive or cast dressing, to increase comfort and prevent direct rubbing between the skin and the rigid device. Furthermore, this product is particularly useful in protecting joints, preventing and treating bedsores thanks to the shock-absorbing effect which minimizes pressure on soft tissues. Its conformability also makes it ideal for bandages on difficult anatomical parts, such as the foot, ankle, knee, elbow or wrist. It is suitable for both hospital and home settings, making it a strategic choice for the management of bedridden patients, with reduced mobility or subjected to frequent therapies and medications. It can also be used as protection in pediatric or geriatric settings.
Composition
Main materials: The bandage is made of high-quality needle-punched polyester wadding. This material ensures a soft, uniform consistency free of impurities, guaranteeing maximum delicacy on the skin. The needle-punched wadding is produced through a process that finely intertwines the polyester fibres, giving high tensile strength and keeping the structure intact even after prolonged applications. The synthetic polyester fibre, in addition to ensuring lightness and resistance, is hypoallergenic, thus reducing the risk of adverse reactions. The bandage does not contain latex or other potentially allergenic substances, which makes it suitable for use even on particularly sensitive subjects or those predisposed to skin allergies. The exclusive use of needle-punched wadding allows for optimal transpiration of the skin, reducing the formation of humidity and promoting an optimal environment for tissue healing and protection.
Contraindications
The use of the Needled Wadding Bandage 10x400 1PC is generally well tolerated, however it is not recommended in cases of known hypersensitivity to synthetic components or in the presence of specific allergies to polyester. Avoid use directly on unprotected open wounds or on tissues with active infections without adequate primary coverage, as the porous structure of the cotton wool could favor the migration of secretions towards the outside. It is not suitable for applications that require haemostatic, targeted compressive action or rigid immobilisation, as its main function is protection and comfort. In the presence of local irritation, persistent redness or worsening of symptoms, suspend use and consult a doctor or healthcare professional to review the dressing and evaluate more appropriate alternatives.
Product safety for the species
The Needled Wadding Bandage is made in compliance with safety regulations for medical devices and is suitable for use on human patients of all ages. The absence of latex, the hypoallergenic material and the processing without irritating agents also make it suitable for people with sensitive skin or subject to allergic reactions. The product is disposable and each piece is individually packaged to avoid the risk of cross-contamination. It presents no known risks if used according to the recommended methods and in the absence of particular sensitivity to the constituent materials. It is also suitable for pediatric and elderly use as its softness and flexibility minimize the risk of skin damage. In case of use in intensive care environments or on very fragile patients, it is still recommended to frequently check the underlying skin integrity.
Precautions
Before applying the bandage, make sure the skin is clean and dry to avoid the formation of humidity or macerations. Use the bandage as part of a compound dressing when necessary, combining it with other devices such as sterile gauze in the case of open or exuding wounds. Do not reuse the product after removal: as it is disposable, any residues of secretions or contamination may compromise the safety of the dressing. During application, avoid excessively tightening the bandage; too tight an application can hinder peripheral circulation, especially in distal areas such as hands, feet and knees. If the bandage becomes dirty or wet, replace it promptly to preserve its protective function and breathability. Keep out of reach of children; use with caution towards people unable to report discomfort or annoyance.
Method of administration
The Needled Wadding Bandage 10x400 1PC must be applied manually by wrapping the anatomical part to be protected carefully and without exerting excessive pressure. Start by spreading the bandage over the area of interest, proceeding with overlapping circular movements to ensure homogeneous and continuous coverage. It can be used directly on the skin or over a primary dressing as an additional comfort layer. Cut the required length using clean or disposable scissors to ensure hygiene and safety. Secure the extremities with a medical plaster, an elastic net or with additional bandage according to therapeutic needs. It can be easily removed without trauma to the skin even after prolonged applications. It is advisable to check the dressing regularly to verify its stability and replace it if it is compromised.
Treatment program
The duration and frequency of replacement of the needled cotton bandage depend on the patient's clinical condition and the level of protection required. In case of dressing on surgical or traumatic wounds, it is recommended to replace the bandage at each change of main dressing, following the instructions of the healthcare personnel. To prevent pressure ulcers, the band should be checked at least once a day for the presence of redness or skin changes. In patients who are bedridden or have reduced mobility, it may be necessary to increase the frequency of replacements depending on sweating or the risk of decubitus. In case of prolonged or repeated use, evaluate the integrity of the material before each new application. Use in combination with other devices (casts, braces, elastic bandages) must be carried out according to a specific clinical protocol, agreed with the relevant healthcare personnel. The bandage can also be used as a temporary support during outpatient procedures and subsequently removed without leaving residues.
