Advazorb Areola is an innovative dressing designed by physicians for use as a post-breast surgery dressing, where the Areola (nipple) is involved. The dressing consists of Advazorb hydrophilic foam for absorption of fluids, Silfix® soft silicone adhesion, for gentle but effective adhesion with atraumatic (pain-free) removal and a 1.2cm aperture (hole) that can be increased for the larger nipple for comfort and ease of use.Description
Advazorb Areola is an innovative breast dressing, ergonomically designed to fit the contours of the breast making dressing application, easy, quick and comfortable for the patient.
Designed in collaboration with Nottingham University Hospitals and Nottingham Breast Institute, Advazorb Areola fulfils a very specific need – a protective and secure breast dressing that reduces the need for clinicians to create their own dressing from a patchwork of square dressings.
Advazorb Areola combines Silfix soft silicone with conformable, absorbent foam to deliver excellent patient comfort, effective exudate management, secure fixation and atraumatic removal. The central hole prevents pressure on the nipple, including incisions to accommodate larger nipples, and a low friction backing prevents uncomfortable snagging on clothes.
