Description

REPLICARE Ultra is an advanced hydrocolloid dressing which offers optimal exudate management and increased absorption capability.

Features and Benefits

• REPLICARE Ultra’s improved design provides better evaporation through an adaptable polyurethane top film that regulates moisture vapor transmission rate. This allows excess moisture to evaporate while maintaining the proper moist wound environment.
• The top film is waterproof, easy to clean and aids in the prevention of bacterial contamination.
• Unique micro-thin edges and enhanced adhesive offer better adherence, reduced leakage potential and chance of edge roll.
• REPLICARE Ultra can remain in place for up to 7 days for convenience, fewer dressing changes and a reduction in nursing costs.
• In addition, it is offered in a sacral design to conform to the difficult to dress sacral region.

Indications

For Healthcare Professional applications, REPLICARE Ultra dressings may be used in Stage I through Stage IV wounds with light to moderate exudate, such as:

• Pressure Ulcers
• Leg Ulcers
• Superficial Burns
• Superficial Wounds
• Donor Sites
• Skin Abrasions
• Partial Thickness Burns

Precautions

• During the body’s normal healing process, unnecessary material is removed from the wound, which will make the wound appear larger after the first few dressing changes. If the wound continues to get larger after the first few dressing changes, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
• Should any signs of irritation (reddening, inflammation), maceration (over-hydration of the skin), hypergranulation (excess tissue) or sensitivity (allergic reactions) appear, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
• Do not use product if its packaging is open or damaged prior to use.
• REPLICARE Ultra is a single-use product. It should not be re-used.
• Do not use product on (1) ulcers resulting from infection, such as tuberculosis, syphilis and deep fungal infections; (2) lesions in patients with acute vasculitis, such as periarteritis nodosa, systemic lupus erythematosus, and cryoglobulinemia; or (3) third degree burns.
• REPLICARE Ultra dressing must be removed prior to radiation therapy.
