Coloplast InterDry Moisture-Wicking Fabric w/Antimicrobial Silver 10 x 36 inch

The Coloplast InterDry Antimicrobial Silver Moisture Wicking Fabric (10” x 36”) is a thin, light weight textile engineered to control moisture, friction, and odor within skin folds and other anatomical regions where moisture may accumulate. This textile assists in the treatment and prevention of intertrigo, a clinical diagnosis of inflammation in skin folds due to trapped moisture and friction. The antimicrobial protective attribute of silver provides enhanced defense against bacterial and fungal infections, which makes InterDry useful in a clinical setting as well as for personal care.  

Highlights and Advantages  

Advanced Moisture Wicking Technique: The InterDry textile is embedded with moisture-wicking features, which captures liquid, to draw moisture away from the skin and keeps the skin dry and free from skin-breakdown. This feature significantly reduces the development of intertrigo which is a four-stage condition where moisture gets trapped beneath the skin folds leading to inflammation, erythema, and discomfort.

Antimicrobial Silver: InterDry is infused with antimicrobial silver that protects continuously against bacteria and fungi which proliferate in moist and warm areas. Silvers ions are gradually released and decreases the life sustaining activities of micro-organisms, thus lowering various infections of candidiasis, bacterial dermatitis, and other infections. These actions help skin health, particularly in patients who are immobile or are bed-bound which is crucial in skin health management. 

Flexibility From Large Size: Folded in half , each InterDry fabric measurs 10 x 36 inches, thus providing sufficient coverage for various regions of the body, which includes large skin folds, under breasts, groin, and between abdominal folds. This size is easy to trim into smaller pieces which will then make this intended for specific individual needs. It can be used while taking into account the underlying medical conditions of the patient and adjustments made to the body shape. 

Soft and Comfortable: InterDry is made from non irritating and soft materials thus is gentle on the skin making them comfortable even when worn for long periods. It is Light in weight and reduces friction between skin folds making it comfortable to wear for long periods of time without restriction to the body’s movement. This helps in reducing chafing and other skin irritation therefore aiding in the further prevention of irritation.

Odor Control: Interdry's moisture control and odor management is aided by its antimicrobial features. When the skin is dry and bacteria is not allowed to grow, the fabric reduces the chance of odor formation, which is a problem in many places where moisture and sweating gather.

Usability: InterDry is straightforward to use, requiring no preparatory work. It can be directly placed over the target area, and can be stuffed in skin folds, where it locks to deliver protection. As it does not take up much space pas be worn under cloths, it can be used on a day to day basis.  

Effective and Enduring: InterDry is economical because it can be used for many days. It can be left in place for up to five days depending on the moisture level and skin condition. This allows for reduction in the frequency of dressing changes, which ultimately saves time and resources in both clinical settings and home care.
