Intended Use

The Transorbent and ThinSite Topical Border Wound Dressings are intended for use in the management of partial and full thickness wounds, Stage I -IV pressure ulcers, arterial and venous stasis leg ulcers, and to aid in the prevention of skin breakdown. They are also intended for use in post-surgical wounds, biopsy sites, minor abrasions and lacerations, suture sites, partial thickness and full thickness dermatological sites, laparoscopic incisional sites, and drainage tube sites.

Device Description

The Transorbent and ThinSite Topical Border Wound Dressings are a multi-layered construction. The dressings utilize these various layers to optimize their functional abilities. The outer border film with adhesive bonds the dressing to the contact skin, and maintains the dressing in position until removed. Then there is an adhesive/fabric laminate that bonds the dressing to the wound site. The next layer is a hydrogel layer which absorbs and transfers exudate away from the wound, and captures it to facilitate the transfer of moisture vapor away from the wound. An integral adhesive bonds this portion of the dressing to an outer film (ThinSite) or film/foam (Transorbent) layer, which prevents excess loss of moisture at the wound site, while assisting in the transmission of moisture vapor from the dressing.

  • Description of Device: The Transorbent and ThinSite Topical 4 . Border Wound Dressings are a multi-layered construction. The dressings utilize these various layers to optimize their functional abilities. The outer border film with adhesive bonds the dressing to the contact skin, and maintains the dressing in position until removed. Then there is an adhesive/fabric laminate that bonds the dressing to the wound site.

  • Intended use of the Device: The Transorbent and ThinSite 5. Topical Border Wound Dressings are intended for use in the management of partial and full thickness wounds, Stage I -IV pressure ulcers, arterial and venous stasis leg ulcers, and to aid in the prevention of skin breakdown. They are also intended for use in post-surgical wounds, biopsy sites, minor abrasions and lacerations, suture sites, partial thickness and full thickness dermatological sites, laparoscopic incisional sites, and drainage tube sites.
  • The technological characteristics of this device are 6. comparable to the aforementioned devices, in that they are all composite devices which employ a laminar construction. All employ a skin adhesive to provide anchorage to the dressing site. Further, the Transorbent and ThinSite Topical Border Wound Dressings have undergone biocompatibility testing, which Brady Medical Products knows is comparable to the B. F. Goodrich, Transorbent, and ThinSite products. This extensive testing has in all probability been undergone by the other indicated products.
