VELVERT®: Natural Antimicrobial Barrier Dressing

VELVERT TM Herbal Antimicrobial Barrier Dressing

Velvert^®: Natural Antimicrobial Barrier Dressing effectively kills 99.9999% bacteria present in the wound.

Have you ever encountered a wound which doesn’t heal fast, where it takes weeks to heal? Have you thought it could be due to infection? Infections can halt the wound healing process as they prevent healthy tissue regeneration.

Different strains of bacteria delay the wound healing process in different ways. Some extend the inflammatory phase and others can interfere with the clotting mechanisms causing the wound to bleed continuously.

Various strains of bacteria have been documented for their notorious activities in delaying the healing process. A 2010 study published in the Journal of Dental Research shows that pseudomonas aeruginosa and staphylococcus are the two most damaging strains of bacteria.

We @ Datt Mediproducts Pvt. Ltd. introduce a novel patented natural anti-microbial barrier dressing “VELVERT^®” which speeds up the healing process by effectively killing the microbes (99.9999%) present in the wound.

VELVERT^® consists of a polymeric sponge loaded with patented natural antimicrobial formulations. All the components of the formulation work in a synergistic manner to achieve the reduction of microbial flora and enhance wound healing. VELVERT^® is found to be effective even against most resistant Superbugs.

NOVEL FEATURES:

1. VELVERT^® is a sponge based natural antimicrobial barrier dressing

b. The product is broad-spectrum in nature and effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and also against various superbugs, some of which are listed below:

Multi-drug resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii: Acinetobacter is most commonly associated with nosocomial infections and its infections lead to death in more than 50% cases. (Tuon et al., 2010b, 2011)
Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL): ESBL are the enzymes that cause resistance to most beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillin, cephalosporins, and the monobactam aztreonam.
New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamase-1 (NDM-1): Superbugs with NDM-1 gene are resistant to even the strongest antibiotics.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA): These gram-positive bacteria are responsible for various difficult to treat infections in humans.
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE): Enterococci lives in our intestines & vancomycin is the antibiotic used to treat the infections caused by this bacterium. When enterococci become resistant to the specific antibiotic, it becomes vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Most VRE infections originate in hospitals.
Pseudomonas: People with a weakened immune system and those who have undergone surgery or are hospitalized are more vulnerable to pseudomonas infections. In such cases, the infection can be life-threatening.

2. The formulation is effective against superbugs, as proved in the Time Kill Assay, where the population of microorganisms is 99.9999 % reduced within 30 minutes.

3.. The zone of inhibition shows the antimicrobial activity of VELVERT^®:

4. The dressing kills the microbes and enhances wound healing by increasing cell migration.

5. VELVERT^® is highly porous in nature with a capacity to absorb exudates up to 18-20 times of its own weight and also aids in maintaining a moist wound environment.

6. The polymeric sponge is biocompatible and non-toxic to human tissue.

7. VELVERT^® is soft and flexible, making it highly conformable for deep and irregular wounds.

VELVERT^® reduces the microflora in wounds and actively promotes healing by stimulating stem cells that are present even in deep wounds and enhance the migration of fibroblast and keratinocytes and secretion of growth factors. VELVERT^® is indicated as an antimicrobial barrier dressing for the management of partial- and full-thickness wounds for up to 5 days.

High-absorbency foam dressing for exuding wounds

Absorbent foam dressings are advanced wound care solutions specifically designed to manage moderate to heavy wound exudate while maintaining a moist healing environment.

Maintaining the right moisture balance is critical for wound healing. Excess fluid can cause maceration and delay recovery, while insufficient moisture may slow tissue regeneration. Foam dressings are engineered to maintain this balance—supporting safer, more efficient healing across acute and chronic wound types.

Widely used in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home-care settings, absorbent foam dressings are a core component of modern wound management protocols.

Clinical Overview: Absorbent Foam Dressings

Designed for moderate to heavy exudate
Maintain a controlled moist wound environment
Reduce risk of periwound maceration
Provide cushioning and mechanical protection
Support atraumatic dressing removal
Suitable for pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and surgical wounds

What Are Absorbent Foam Dressings?

Absorbent foam dressings are multi-layer wound dressings typically made from polyurethane foam. They are engineered to:

Absorb and retain moderate to heavy wound fluid
Protect surrounding skin from excess moisture
Provide thermal insulation and cushioning
Maintain optimal moisture levels for tissue repair

They are widely used in advanced wound care settings where effective exudate control and periwound protection are essential.

Why foam dressings are used

Wounds that produce fluid need balance—not dryness, not pooling moisture. Foam dressings maintain this balance, which supports natural tissue repair.

How they are built

A highly absorbent foam layer that draws in and holds wound fluid
A protective outer layer that allows airflow but blocks bacteria and external moisture
Optional adhesive borders for secure placement without extra fixation

Foam dressings are widely used in acute care, long-term wound management, and post-surgical recovery across global healthcare systems, especially in wound care settings.

How Absorbent Foam Dressings Work

1. Managing Moderate to Heavy Wound Exudate

Foam dressings absorb excess fluid and lock it inside the dressing.

Why this matters:

Uncontrolled fluid can soften surrounding skin, increase leakage, and slow healing.

How it helps healing:

By keeping the wound surface balanced—not wet, not dry—foam dressings create conditions where new tissue forms more efficiently. Products such as Velnext® Foam Dressing are designed for this purpose.

2. Maintaining a Stable Healing Environment

While absorbing excess fluid, foam dressings preserve gentle moisture at the wound surface.

Clinical benefit:

Stable moisture supports faster cell growth and reduces repeated tissue disruption caused by frequent dressing changes, which is especially important in chronic wounds managed with advanced foam dressings

3. Cushioning and Physical Protection

The soft foam structure absorbs pressure and reduces friction.

Especially useful for:

Heels
Sacral area
Elbows
Other pressure-prone or mobile body parts

This protection helps prevent further tissue damage during daily movement and is a key benefit of foam-based wound dressings.

Key Benefits of Absorbent Foam Dressings

Protects Periwound Skin

By preventing fluid leakage and excessive moisture accumulation, foam dressings reduce the risk of maceration and surrounding skin breakdown.

Enhances Patient Comfort

The flexible, conformable structure minimizes pain during wear and dressing removal, especially in chronic wound management.

Reduces Dressing Change Frequency

Due to their high absorbency, foam dressings can often remain in place for several days (subject to clinical assessment), improving patient compliance and care efficiency.

Supports Infection Management

In wounds with elevated infection risk, antimicrobial silver foam dressings may help manage bacterial load. These are typically used when clinical signs of infection are present or when risk factors exist.

Types of Absorbent Foam Dressings

Adhesive Foam Dressings

Integrated fixation border
Easy application
Suitable for ambulatory patients and post-operative care

Non-Adhesive Foam Dressings

Gentle on fragile or sensitive skin
Require secondary fixation
Ideal for elderly patients or delicate wound sites

Antimicrobial Foam Dressings

Contain antimicrobial agents
Support bacterial load management
Used in infected or high-risk wounds

Foam Dressings vs Other Dressing Types

Dressing Type	Best For	Not Suitable For
Foam Dressings	Moderate–heavy exudate	Dry wounds
Hydrocolloids	Light–moderate exudate	Heavily exuding wounds
Alginates	Heavy exudate or bleeding	Dry wounds
Transparent Films	Superficial wounds	Moderate–heavy exudate

Selecting the appropriate dressing depends on wound characteristics, fluid level, and clinical assessment.

Ideal Wound Types for Foam Dressings

Absorbent foam dressings are commonly recommended for:

Pressure ulcers
Diabetic foot ulcers
Venous leg ulcers
Post-surgical wounds
Traumatic injuries

Their ability to absorb fluid while protecting tissue makes them a reliable option for both acute and chronic wound care, including hospital-grade wound management.

When Foam Dressings May Not Be Appropriate

Foam dressings may not be suitable for:

Dry or minimally exuding wounds
Hard necrotic tissue or dry scabs
Wounds requiring active debridement

In such cases, alternative dressing categories that donate moisture or facilitate debridement may be more appropriate based on professional evaluation.

Quality Standards and Clinical Reliability

High-performance absorbent foam dressings are manufactured in accordance with internationally recognized quality and safety standards, including ISO 13485 and CE certification.

As a manufacturer of certified advanced wound care solutions, DMP designs foam dressings aligned with global clinical standards, ensuring product reliability, patient safety, and consistent performance across healthcare environments.

Absorbent foam dressings combine smart material design with practical wound care needs. By controlling wound fluid, protecting fragile skin, and improving comfort, they play a vital role in modern wound management.

Selecting the right foam dressing—based on wound type, fluid level, and patient needs—can significantly improve healing outcomes and overall care quality.

The Role of Antimicrobial Dressings in Infection Prevention and Wound Healing

In wound care, infection prevention involves proactive measures to avoid contamination, while infection control refers to the steps taken after an infection has occurred—to contain its spread and reduce complications.

Understanding this distinction is vital, particularly when dealing with diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, or chronic ulcers like those from varicose veins. These wounds, once infected, require more than just hygiene and topical care—they demand targeted intervention.

Why Infection Prevention is Critical in Wound Care

In high-risk patients (e.g., diabetics, post-operative individuals, or those with vascular issues), a wound infection can:

Impair tissue regeneration can significantly slow down the body’s natural healing process.
Trigger inflammation beyond the wound site
Lead to sepsis or systemic failure
Delay healing indefinitely without the right approach

Once bacteria attach to the wound surface and multiply, they secrete an Extracurricular Polymeric Substance (EPS) over the wound bed in the form of a patchy layer called BIOFILM. This biofilm is not only resistant to the host’s immune system but also to various basic antimicrobials. This is why even proper hygiene may not suffice creating a need for advanced infection control measures.

Common Signs of Infection Include:

Increased redness or warmth
Foul odor or purulent discharge
Delayed granulation
Pain out of proportion to wound size
Systemic symptoms like fever or fatigue

The Role of Antimicrobial Dressing

Not all antimicrobial dressings work the same way. Selection should depend on the type of wound, degree of infection, and underlying comorbidities.

Agent	Mechanism of Action	Ideal Use Cases
Nano-crystalline silver	Disrupts bacterial DNA and cell walls	Chronic wounds, surgical sites, burn care
Iodine	Broad-spectrum bactericidal effect	Infected diabetic foot ulcers, contaminated wounds
PHMB	Disrupts membrane integrity of microbes	Superficial infected wounds
Velvet	Kills microbes, hinders replication. Promotes angiogenesis & cell proliferation	Management of partial & full thickness wounds such as DFU, VLU, Necrotising Fasciitis, Burns or even other traumatic or surgical infected wounds

Using the wrong dressing can delay healing or exacerbate infection. Selection must be guided by wound assessment, not just product availability.

Best Practices for Infection Prevention:

Sterile Cleansing: Use prescribed solutions like saline, not harsh agents.
Hygiene Compliance: Strict hand hygiene and PPE protocols for caregivers.
Moisture Balance: Avoid dry wound beds or maceration.

Infection Control (Post-Infection Onset):

Debridement if needed to remove necrotic tissue or biofilm
Antimicrobial Dressings selected as per exudate level and infection type
Systemic antibiotics for deep or spreading infections
Regular monitoring to track changes in wound condition

Different Wounds Demand Different Protocols

A clean surgical wound may require simple antimicrobial protection.
A diabetic foot ulcer with infection may require systemic antibiotics, debridement, and layered dressing strategy.
A venous ulcer may need antimicrobial compression therapy.

Avoid a one-size-fits-all approach—treatment must align with wound pathology.

Don’t overlook:

Nutritional Support: Protein, Vitamin C, and Zinc for immune function and tissue repair
Glycemic Control: Especially crucial in diabetic patients
Patient Education: Empower caregivers with infection warning signs and dressing techniques

Wound care is both a science and a strategy. While infection prevention is essential, being prepared for infection control—with the right knowledge, products, and protocols—can make the difference between recovery and chronicity.
