The Trusted Ally in
Advanced Burn Treatment
HYDRO-ACTIVE WOUND DRESSING
COMPOSED OF BIOSYNTHETIC CELLULOSE AND SALINE SOLUTION
epicite® RESCUE is an advanced wound dressing tailored to establish an optimal moist wound environment, promoting the effective healing of burns and acute wounds. With more than 95% water content, the nature-identical biomaterial cools damaged tissue immediately, reduces pain, and promotes successful wound healing. With years of expertise, the epicite® wound dressing family employs a dressing technology that has consistently delivered clinically proven, trustworthy results.
ADVANTAGES
Pain relief and mild cooling effect
Offering an immediate cooling effect 1 and clinically proven to relieve pain 2–4, epicite® RESCUE helps to enhance patient comfort and acceptance of treatment.
Moist wound environment and promotion of wound healing
epicite® RESCUE effectively delivers moisture, sustains an ideal moist wound environment and dermal hydration essential for successful wound healing 3,5,6.
Effective wound cleansing
epicite® RESCUE supports autolytic debridement, ensuring effective wound bed preparation crucial for healing 5.
Reduced dressing interventions
epicite® RESCUE can remain on the wound until reepithelization for up to 14 days, leading to less dressing changes in comparison to standard of care 2,3,6,7. This reduces the need for general anesthesia minimizes pain and discomfort, lowers costs and decreases the risk of infection 7,8.
Shorter hospital stay
epicite® RESCUE enables earlier patient discharge by several days, decreasing maintenance efforts compared to standard procedures and enhancing cost efficiency 2, 6-8.
HANDLING
Designed for high conformity and drapeability, the dressing effortlessly adapts to the unique shapes and depths of wounds, including challenging-to-cover areas like the face, hand, arm, leg and torso 6, 9.
With minimal adhesion to the wound, epicite® RESCUE allows for dressing removal with minimal pain, enhancing patient compliance and offering high wearing comfort 4, 7, 9.
epicite® RESCUE, when used with a nonocclusive secondary dressing, promotes the re-epithelialization process, whereas an occlusive secondary dressing supports granulation tissue formation, ensuring effective recovery tailored to the specific healing phase 10.
epicite® RESCUE can remain uncovered on the wound until epithelization, allowing it to dry out naturally, or it can be covered with secondary dressings like transparent film or fatty gauze for added fixation.
