Changing dressings on the foot takes a lot of time with conventional secondary dressings. Competent nursing staff spend a lot of time applying dressings with scissors and fixation plasters. Pediflex is a ready-to-use secondary bandage that does not need to be cut to size – so there is no leftover material that has to be disposed of in an additional work step.

This ready-to-use bandage can be applied quickly and easily and secured with integrated Velcro fasteners. Nursing staff can get back to other activities more quickly. Pediflex is also reclosable, meaning that a dressing change is not necessarily required to inspect the wound.

A secondary dressing protects and secures primary dressings and wound dressings. To ensure this, an optimum fit is important. With conventional dressings, modeling takes a lot of time and skill. You need scissors and fixation plasters.

The ready-to-use Pediflex secondary foot bandage can be applied quickly and easily thanks to its large opening, elasticity and Velcro fasteners. It is available in different sizes, so finding the right fit is no problem. Thanks to the Velcro fasteners, patients can even adjust it themselves.

If a foot bandage is not applied correctly, there is a risk of excessive compression and the formation of folds, which can cause pressure sores. Shearing forces and constrictions can cause pressure points and skin damage. Wounds heal more poorly and patients suffer additional pain.

The Pediflex secondary bandage reduces the risk to a minimum, as even non-professionals can apply this bandage correctly.

Pediflex is used as a secondary dressing for the long-term treatment of people with chronic wounds or wound healing disorders. Examples include diabetic foot syndrome, pressure ulcer treatment or wounds following foot surgery.

A chronic wound on the foot is first treated with a wound dressing, a plaster or a primary dressing. This is then fixed in place with a secondary dressing such as a tubular dressing or the innovative Pediflex product. The use of conventional secondary dressings requires a great deal of specialist knowledge and takes a lot of time.

The ready-to-use Pediflex bandage, on the other hand, is very easy and uncomplicated to apply. It is made of non-woven fabric with integrated elastic threads and has practical Velcro fasteners.

A secondary dressing is used to fix a wound dressing or a primary dressing to the foot. Conventional secondary dressings must be modeled. This requires not only scissors and plaster strips, but also specialist knowledge and time. The elastic and adaptable Pediflex foot bandage is ready to use and can be applied without accessories – even by non-professionals.

Diabetes can lead to so-called diabetic foot syndrome and thus to diabetic foot ulcers (colloquially known as “diabetes foot”) – i.e. open, poorly healing wounds. They must be regularly treated and dressed. Special wound dressings are used for this, which are fixed in place with secondary dressings. It is important to avoid pressure points as much as possible.

When applying the ready-to-use Pediflex foot bandage as a secondary bandage, the convenient Velcro fasteners minimize application errors and thus pressure points.

The Pediflex secondary dressing must be changed daily for acute, infectious wounds. Otherwise only if it is soiled or if it is overstretched or torn. In addition, every time the primary dressing or the wound dressing underneath is changed.

If the wound on the foot is acutely infected, the Pediflex secondary dressing must also be changed daily. Otherwise, whenever it is soiled, overstretched or torn. And, of course, whenever the primary wound dressing is replaced.

As long as the wound is infected, the dressings must be changed daily – not only the wound dressing, but also the secondary dressing, such as Pediflex. If there is no acute infection, it is sufficient to replace the secondary dressing if it becomes soiled, overstretched or torn. Also always when changing the primary dressing.
