ZIPZOC is a sterile, single use, 20% zinc oxide impregnated stocking which is used widely in wound management and dermatology to provide patients with an aid to the treatment of chronic leg ulcers, eczema, dermatitis, cellulitis and hyperkeratosis.
ZIPZOC works by forming a barrier on the surface of the skin which protects against moisture and irritants.
Where chronic venous insufficiency exists, ZIPZOC may be used as a primary contact layer under compression therapy systems**
ZIPZOC contains 20% zinc oxide which is soothing to damaged skin.
ZIPZOC preservative free formulation may reduce the risk of reaction for patients with sensitive skin.
ZIPZOC may only require a retention bandage over, which means that patients can wear their normal footwear.
ZIPZOC stocking presentation means that it is easy to apply and remove, therefore saving valuable time at dressing changes.
ZIPZOC contains white, soft paraffin and liquid paraffin so will not dry out or adhere to the wound if changed sufficiently frequently – this means that it can be used with confidence as a primary contact layer.
**Always carry out a vascular assessment before applying compression therapy
