WHAT IS TRIAD?
Triad is a sterile coating that can be applied anywhere,
adheres to wet skin, and keeps wounds covered.
Apply Anywhere
Triad is easy to apply, directly from the tube onto the wound or periwound skin, anywhere on the body.
Adheres to Wet Skin
Triad adheres to wet or dry skin and consistently stays in place, even in the presence of incontinence or maceration.
Keeps the Wound Covered
Triad creates a moist wound environment that facilitates healing and autolytic debridement.
INDICATIONS
What difficult-to-dress wounds may Triad help you manage?
- Triad is designed to be applied directly from the tube onto the wound without the need for a secondary dressing.
- Irregular surfaces could include the gluteal cleft, coccyx, perineum, buttocks, groin, face, hands, feet and other areas.
- Triad is easy to apply, and can be used on the wound or periwound skin.
WOUND EXAMPLE
90 SECOND CASE EXAMPLE
- Triad is a sterile coating that can be used on broken skin.
- CMC allows Triad to adhere to wet skin, keeping the wound covered and protected from incontinence.
- Triad contains dimethicone to moisturize the skin and petrolatum and zinc oxide to reduce skin irritation.
WOUND EXAMPLE
5 MINUTE CASE EXAMPLE
- Triad is easy to use on larger surfaces and can be used on the wound and periwound skin.
- CMC allows Triad to adhere to macerated skin, keeping it covered and protected from wound exudate.
- Triad contains dimethicone to moisturize the skin and petrolatum and zinc oxide to reduce skin irritation.
WOUND EXAMPLE
4 MINUTE CASE EXAMPLE
- Triad is hydrophilic, which means that natural moisture spreads evenly across the wound surface, maximizing contact and creating a moist environment.
- A moist wound environment facilitates autolytic debridement, where the body’s own enzymes break down necrotic tissue.
- CMC allows Triad to absorb low to moderate levels of wound exudate or broken-down tissue.
WOUND EXAMPLE
90 SECOND CASE EXAMPLE
"Triad can provide success in situations
where standard dressings don't work."
- Dorothy Doughty, MN, RN, CWOCN, CFCN, FAAN
"Triad was such a relief. If I didn’t have Triad, I don’t know what I would’ve done."
- Lisa Seaboch, CWOCN, RN, OSF St Francis Medical Center
“I’ve recently started using more of it just because it works.”
- Julie Freyberg, APRN, CNP, CWOCN Mankato Clinic
