Clinical Evidence and Clinical Experiences with CovaWound™
Wirral University Teaching Hospital converts to CovaWound™ Silicone Foams, Alginates and Hydrocolloids
Wirral University Teaching Hospital converts to CovaWound™ Silicone Foams, Alginates and Hydrocolloids. Interest in the CovaWound™ range was initially created through analysis of a TR 18 report, comparing the costs of currently used silicone, foam, and hydrocolloid dressings, with their CovaWound™ equivalents. This showed the potential for a 28% saving on like for like products.
Download HereSummary of the CovaWound™ Survey
A clinical survey undertaken between November 2017 and February 2019 evaluated CovaWound™ dressings at 12 sites across England. 154 patients took part in the evaluation and the wound aetiology varied across participants. Findings showed that 98% of clinical users rated CovaWound™ as excellent, very good, or good when compared to their usual dressing.
Surgical Materials Testing Laboratory results for the CovaWound™ Range
The CovaWound™ advanced wound care dressing range was assessed by the Surgical Materials Testing Laboratory (SMTL). Test results indicated parity and in some cases superiority to marketing leading brands. The SMTL is recognised as an independent centre of excellence for the research, development and testing of wound dressings and its reports are accepted and respected worldwide by clinicians, manufacturers and procurement bodies. The standards used in all test methodologies are in accordance with BS EN 13726.

Undertaken by The Welsh Wounds Innovation Centre, and presented at The Wounds UK Annual Conference in 2019, this study details the findings of a case series evaluating CovaWound™ Alginate as a primary dressing for moderate to highly exuding lower limb wounds. Preliminary findings suggest that CovaWound™ Alginate is a highly absorbent alginate dressing, which holds exudate in the dressing preventing maceration and excoriation to the peri-wound skin. The study concludes that CovaWound™ Alginate is an effective dressing when used under compression therapy.
