Innovative concept for wound prevention
Covestro will be presenting innovations in the field of wound management at COMPAMED 2019 at Booth H30 in Hall 8b at the exhibition center Messe Düsseldorf. The company has developed a design study for wound prevention that deals with the three most important factors for bedsore (decubitus): Pressure, friction and shear. A highly breathable prototype is being manufactured exclusively from polyurethane materials from Covestro.
The main features of this prototype wound prevention dressing made of Baymedix?, Platilon? and Texin? materials are:
- Optimized friction, shear and pressure management
- Excellent moisture management to support a healthy microclimate
- Application and skin friendly polyurethane adhesive
- Efficient and sustainable manufacturing technology
Components based on these products help increase both cost and manufacturing efficiency by allowing roll to roll processing and inline production of all layers. During processing, thermoplastic welding of the edges is possible. Moreover, the process is energy saving and environmentally compatible because production steps are reduced.
In the course of the Compamed Suppliers Forum Covestro expert Dr. Marc-Stephan Weiser will present the design study for focused wound prevention on November 20, 2019, at 3.30 pm in Hall 8b.
