Kendall AMD foam dressing 15x15 cm 10 pcs
Kendall AMD Foam, a PHMB-containing foam dressing for the treatment of moderately to heavily exuding wounds and protection against infection.
The sterile, soft polyurethane foam dressing has a high absorption capacity. The wound dressing contains PHMB (polyhexamethylene biguanide) as an antimicrobial agent. PHMB helps resist bacterial colonisation of the dressing and reduces bacterial penetration through the dressing.
With the addition of 0.5% PHMB, the wound dressing provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and protection against Gram-negative, Gram-positive and spore-forming microorganisms, including MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and VRE (vancomycin-resistant enterococci). Cross-contamination from patient to patient, patient to caregiver and patient to environment is reduced.
The wound dressing does not occlude the wound and allows air to pass through. Its small pores retain wound exudate while helping to prevent maceration. The dressing conforms to the contours of the wound bed, making it suitable for difficult-to-dress wounds and wound cavities.
The dressing does not adhere to the wound. During dressing changes, newly formed tissue is not damaged and the procedure is less painful. The dressing is easy to apply; both sides are identical, ensuring that it is always applied correctly.

Instructions for use
Preparation
- If necessary, clean the wound site using a non-toxic cleansing solution or saline solution.
- Thoroughly rinse and dry the wound and the surrounding skin before applying the dressing.
Application
- Select a dressing size that provides an overlap around the entire wound.
- Apply the dressing to the wound.
- Secure the dressing using a wound film, gauze bandage roll, elastic bandage, conforming bandage, tape or another suitable secondary dressing.
Removal / Dressing Changes
- Due to the dressing's high absorption capacity, it needs to be changed less frequently.
- The frequency of dressing changes depends on the nature and condition of the wound and the amount of exudate.
- For clean, shallow wounds without signs of saturation or infection, the dressing may remain in place for up to one week.
- The dressing should be changed when signs of saturation become visible along the edges of the dressing, or when replacement is clinically indicated.
- Remove the secondary dressing, tape or other fixation material, and carefully lift the dressing away from the wound.
Warning
- The dressing is not intended for deep burns.
