self adaptive wound dressing

[Georgia peach RN]

Any one using these self adapting wound dressings?

seems it makes choosing the correct dressing easy - just the one dressing will absorb exudate or provide moisture to dry wound bed or even both, seems to be too good to be true just thought I would throw this out and see what if any one is using this and what kind of results they have had --- this is the site I was reading about this and I have actually gotten some samples for our staff to look at and we are all wondering if their bost are true??? http://www.enluxtrawoundcare.com/

Thanks

I was educated on this product, rec'd samples and tried it on my most difficult patients with VS ulcers. I was not impressed. It is difficult to mold to the body, it requires a filler to build up deep wounds so there is contact with wound bed and that has created damage to wounds its like going back to a wet to dry. The idea is great and I'm still going to give it some time to impress me but so far, I'm not impressed and I was so hopeful.

I did not have any problem molding the dressing to the body. Are you trimming/cutting it as recommended by the manufacturer? What are you using to fill the deep wounds? I also had good experience with the Enluxtra on a 3cm X 2cm X 7cm (deep).
