Poultice & Dressing Pad

An invaluable, patented next generation, multi-purpose dressing aid for use in the treatment of most diseases, injuries and conditions of the skin. Poultex^® can be prepared like a traditional poultice or take advantage of the less fuss, less mess and easy to use bag preparation system.

Ensure that the temperature of Poultex^® is acceptable to your own skin before applying to that of the patient. Hot and cold extremes can be dangerous.

The Activator Bag allows you to prepare POULTEX^® hygienically, rather than in a bowl or bucket.

Measured amount of water leaves POULTEX^® unsaturated and free to absorb exudate.

A wet dressing may be pre-prepared at room temperature and kept in the activator bag and used within 12 hours. Heat or cool appropriately before application.
