VACUTEX: a dressing designed for patients, tailored by nurses.
VACUTEX is a new rapid capillary action dressing comprising three layers: two 100% polyester filament outer layers, and a 65% polyester and 35% cotton woven inner layer. The outer surfaces are fused in such a way as to prevent micro fibres shedding within the wound bed. No two wounds are alike, and wounds are often located in difficult-to-dress areas. This article will describe how VACUTEX, when used with creativity, addresses many of the challenges of wound management.
