  • Overview

    Velvert®-Disc is a natural anti-microbial barrier dressing consisting of a polymeric sponge loaded with patented natural antimicrobial formulations. Velvert®-Disc is intended for use as a hydrophilic wound dressing that is used to absorb exudate and to cover a wound caused by the use of vascular and non-vascular percutaneous medical devices. Velvert®-Disc is found to be effective even against the Superbugs as proved in the Time Kill Assay, where the population of microorganisms is 99.9999% reduced within 30 minutes in vitro.

  • Application Method
    • Step 1: Thoroughly clean the catheter site and surrounding areas with either a CHG Swab or Alcohol Wipes prior to the insertion of the catheter.
    • Step 2: Insert catheter into the prepared area. If using a securing device, be sure to leave at least 2.5 cm from the insertion site.
    • Step 3: Open Velvert®-Disc package and extract the sterile dressing using aseptic techniques.
    • Step 4: Ensure that Velvert®-Disc is applied such that stamped side, i.e., the marked side faces upwards after the application.
    • Step 5: Apply Velvert®-Disc on catheterization site. Be sure that all parts of the disc are in contact with the skin.
    • Step 6: Rotate the disc if need be to ensure the slit is directly under the catheter and the disc is fully in contact with the skin.
    • Step 7: Secure the catheter and Velvert®-Disc with a secondary sterile transparent dressing. Date it as per hospital protocols.
    • Step 8: Change the dressing as per facility protocol or at least every 5 days. Change the dressing appropriately for high exuding wounds as per facility protocol.
    • Step 9: To remove Velvert®-Disc, simply hold the catheter in place and peal/pull the transparent dressing from the edges (away from the catheter). Velvert®-Disc will be removed with the transparent dressing.
    • Step 10: If required, re-apply a new piece of Velvert®-Disc with a new sterile secondary dressing as described from step 1.

    Note: The dressing needs to be changed every 5th day.
