ECLYPSE® BORDER
by Advancis Veterinary.
ECLYPSE® BORDER is a highly absorbent, high-capacity wound exudate management product designed to absorb fluid, reduce potential leaks, and reduce the risk of maceration.

Added hypo-allergenic adhesive on the border to ensure the dressing remains in place.
- Provides the moist wound healing environment that is known to promote faster healing1-4
- The soft silicone layer provides gentle adherence and will not stick to a wound or damage the surrounding skin or hair
- For wounds with a moderate to high exudate level
- Its high-capacity absorbent layer allows for rapid fluid uptake and forms a gel when in contact with exudate, effectively locking it away from the wound
- Particularly suited to equine limb wounds but can also be used on smaller animals
- The backing is a water-resistant barrier film to prevent strike-through with a high moisture vapour transfer rate prolonging wearability
- Gently adheres to clipped fur preventing slippage and movement
- Can be left in place for up to 7 days (depending on clinical observation)

How do the layers of the ECLYPSE® dressings work?
Backing layer: The backing layer is non-strikethrough, preventing leaks. It has a high moisture vapour transfer rate (MVTR) to further improve its exudate management capabilities and is water resistant, bacteria- and viral-proof.
Sub-backing layer: The sub-backing layer helps to retain the dressing’s shape, encouraging even distribution of exudate within the CrystaLock™ layer and preventing sagging.
CrystaLock™ layer: The CrystaLock™ layer absorbs exudate and locks it within the dressing to prevent leakage. Infection-causing bacteria are also locked away with the exudate.
Rapid wicking layer: The rapid wicking layer quickly draws exudate from the wound bed. The wicking rate is optimized to ensure the wound doesn’t dry out and that periwound maceration is avoided. Exudate is delivered into the CrystaLock™ layer.
