Product Facts
IoPlex® Iodophor Foam Dressing is a sterile, single use absorptive foam dressing consisting of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) foam complexed with iodine to create a controlled release iodophor comprising 8% iodine (w/w). When applied to the wound, IoPlex absorbs fluids, removing exudate, debris and loose slough while providing a protective, soft covering over the wound surface. IoPlex releases iodine to kill bacteria upon absorbing wound fluid and changes color to indicate when the iodine is depleted.
Indications: IodoFoam® is indicated for use in cleaning wet ulcers and wounds, including diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, arterial ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, and infected traumatic or surgical wounds and burns.
