SOVAN^® AG

Description

Fistula pad provided with silver ion-releasing anti-adherent film. Set on breathable hypoallergenic non-woven plaster (NW) or waterproof polyurethane membrane (PU).

Intended Use

Compressive haemostatic action, specific for post-dialysis arteriovenous access care to be used after the removal of fistula needles. Particularly suitable for the dressing of arteriovenous fistulas managed with the method of button-hole.

Indications

• Reduces the risk of the arteriovenous fistula infection thanks to the presence of the silver based film with long-term and immediate antibacterial action.
• Reduces signs of inflammation associated with repeated venepuncture of the AVF.
• Prevents eschar formation as the tissue does not dry and become adherent to the wound, making it less traumatic for the patient at the next venepuncture.
• The waterproof adhesive model protects the fistula from contact with water during patient’s hygiene routine.
