Introduction to Revaheal Pad Dressing
Revaheal Pad is a three‑layer dressing used in hospitals, clinics, and home care for absorbing wound exudate. It is available in 10 × 10 cm and 20 × 20 cm sizes to fit wounds of varying dimensions. The dressing can also be applied over specialized products such as AlgiPad or Hydrofiber as a secondary dressing.
The three layers perform distinct functions:
| Layer | Description |
| Outer white layer | In contact with the wound, it directs exudate to the central core and prevents moisture from spreading to the surrounding skin. |
| Central core | This layer traps exudate, preventing it from leaking onto the outer surface of the dressing. |
| Inner layer | Prevents the absorbed exudate from leaking out of the dressing. |
Revaheal Pad Dressing is suitable for
- Chronic and acute wounds with low, moderate, or high exudate
- Pressure (bed‑sores)
- Diabetic foot ulcers and highly exudative wounds
- Vascular wounds (venous/arterial)
- Post‑operative wounds
- Burns
- Infected and non‑infected wounds
Mechanism of Action
- Absorption – The inner layer draws exudate (exudate) and moves it toward the upper layers, keeping the wound surface dry.
- Barrier & gas exchange – The outer layer permits gas exchange (wound breathing) while acting as a barrier against bacterial infiltration and fluid leakage.
Advantages
- Flexibility – The dressing conforms to body shape and wounds of varying depth, enhancing patient comfort.
- Moisture‑control – The contact layer keeps exudate away from the surrounding skin, reducing maceration risk.
How to Use
- Clean the wound completely.
- Place the Ravaheal Pad on the wound.
- When applying, the white side should face the wound, and the colored side should face outward.
- The dressing has no adhesive; secure it with a horse‑hair adhesive or a bandage.
- Depending on the amount of exudate, change the dressing every 2–5 days.
Warnings
- Keep out of direct sunlight.
- Store below 30 °C.
- If an allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use.
