NORTHFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As part of CURAD®’s ongoing commitment to bringing innovation to the first aid aisle, the company is excited to announce CURAD SoothePlus™, its latest offering at retail. CURAD’s SoothePlus Gauze and Pads feature the benefits of ARM & HAMMER™ baking soda to provide an extra level of care. These wound care product offerings go beyond the basics and cover particularly large, troublesome and difficult to bandage wounds while helping dressings stay clean and fresh.
“Looking for products that are hospital grade and clinically tested can help bring some peace of mind when it comes to improving wound care and ultimately increasing comfort”
“First aid can be confusing. But before you grab and go from the wall of options, remember that all bandages are not the same,” says Martie Moore, chief nursing officer, CURAD, and advisor to the American Nurses Foundation of the American Nurses Association. “Baking soda is naturally known to soothe minor irritations, and is an option to consider to neutralize and relieve stings, and provide relief.
CURAD is dedicated to introducing innovative solutions that help address a broad range of health concerns. SoothePlus complements CURAD’s portfolio of hospital-quality first aid products.
Germ Shield™
With 2 million illnesses and at least 23,000 deaths in the U.S. yearly caused by antibiotic-resistant pathogens, Germ Shield antimicrobial gel is a timely option for consumers. Unlike typical antibiotic ointments, this product kills a wider spectrum of microbes, including bacteria, fungus and yeast, and maintains effectiveness for up to three days. In addition, Germ Shield isn’t prone to bacterial resistance.
Soothe & Cool™
According to a national survey, nearly half of respondents do not believe burns are a serious danger in their home, yet 75 percent reported they or a loved one had suffered a burn injury at home. Soothe & Cool is a hydrating, high water content pad that pulls the heat from the burn while giving moisture back to help the healing process. The hydrogel dressing provides a cooling effect that stops the painful, burning sensation. This bandage covers the burned area of skin for up to five days to promote an ideal healing environment for the skin by protecting against dehydration and external contamination. Soothe & Cool works on minor burns, blisters and skin abrasions.
QuickStop!®
When cuts happen, it’s instinctual to want to quickly stop the bleeding. If you have a fear of blood or are one of the more than 2 million people in the U.S. taking blood thinners to avoid the risk of blood clots, QuickStop! offers a quick and natural solution. New technology called M•doc™ or Micro Dispersed Oxidized Cellulose, is a naturally derived material that speeds up the blood clotting process. Available in a bandage or a spray, QuickStop! rapidly absorbs the blood from minor, surface skin injuries and forms a protective layer over the wound.
Truly Ouchless!®
For families with youngsters or anyone with delicate skin, Truly Ouchless can help avoid the pain and drama of typical bandages. This Flex-Fabric™ line is specifically designed with an innovative adhesive that makes removal easier and less painful. The EZ Release® adhesive technology is specifically designed to hold tight and let go easy. Yet, it is secure enough to easily take a peek and then reseal the bandage securely.
