The optimal dressing for locking away exudate.

OptiLock is a super absorbent polymer core dressing. It takes in a remarkable amount of wound fluid, even under compression, and locks it away to help prevent maceration. Even more, this wound dressing is non-adhesive, meaning minimal disruption to the wound and gentle, pain-free removal.

OptiLock can be used as a primary dressing on partial-thickness and full-thickness wounds, such as: pressure, venous or neuropathic ulcers; post-operative wounds; superficial or partial-thickness burns (first- or second-degree); lacerations; abrasions. OptiLock can also be used as a secondary dressing on full-thickness wounds.

Main Features

  • Absorbs: Super absorbent polymer core absorbs high volumes of exudate.
  • Locks: Exudate is converted into a gel that’s kept firmly away from the wound.
  • Adjusts: Continually adapts the level of absorption to the amount of wound drainage.
  • Protects: Does not stick to the wound or periwound skin.

A Closer Look

Dispersion Layer: Evenly distributes and quickly transfers exudate into the super-absorbent core.

Blue Protective Backing: Helps protect clothing and sheets.

Super-Absorbent Core: Absorbs large amounts of exudate, which is converted to a gel and locked away from the wound.

Preparation

Step 1: Cleanse wound environment using an appropriate wound cleanser.

Step 2: Ensure skin surrounding wound is dry and apply appropriate skin prep, as preferred.

Application

OptiLock

1. Remove OptiLock® from the package.

2. Place white side of dressing on the wound. Use a large enough dressing to cover the wound and surrounding skin.

3. Secure dressing in place with an appropriate secondary dressing.
