Dermatology Products

Epaderm

Developed by dermatologists, Epaderm is a rich emollient containing yellow soft paraffin, emulsifying wax and liquid paraffin that deeply moisturises and softens the skin. Epaderm provides a film barrier, which aids moisture retention within the skin. Epaderm is used for the management of eczema, psoriasis and other dry skin conditions and is suitable for all ages, including babies. Epaderm is highly versatile and can be used directly on the skin, in the bath or as a soap alternative; providing complete emollient therapy in one product. Epaderm contains no fragrances, colourings, additives or preservatives.

Tubifast Garments

Tubifast Garments, with SoftSeam Technology™, are a range of ‘ready-to-wear’ full-sleeved vests, tights, leggings and socks manufactured from viscose and nylon with very fine elastane threads knitted into the fabric to provide light elasticity. Tubifast Garments are available in a range of sizes for children between the ages of 6 months and 14 years. They are used for dressing retention and for use as part of the wet wrapping and dry wrapping techniques.

Tubifast Bandages

Tubifast bandages are suitable for secure, rapid dressing retention without constriction or compression and for use in the treatment of atopic eczema as part of the patch wrapping technique. The light elasticity of Tubifast bandages allows patients complete freedom of movement, while the light, open construction allows air to circulate over the skin, helping to avoid maceration.

Wound Care Products

Mesitran – a new range of honey-based dressings

Mesitran is a new hydro-active range of dressings and ointments. The range delivers the therapeutic benefits of medical grade honey, in a variety of easy to use presentations. Mesitran is the only honey-based range of wound care products, which provides a complete solution for all stages of wound healing.

Mesitran is available as two types of ointment and three types of dressing. Mesitran Ointment is used to remove necrotic and sloughy tissue. The ointment creates a moist wound healing environment and facilitates good wound bed preparation.

Mesitran dressings and ointments can be used on a variety of wound types, for example pressure ulcers, first and second degree burns, venous and arterial ulcers, diabetic ulcers, superficial wounds and donor sites.

From August 1 2005, all Mesitran products will be reimbursable against NHS prescriptions.
