Description Zipzoc* is a sterile zinc oxide impregnated stocking. Where chronic venous insufficiency exists, Zipzoc can be used as a primary contact layer under compression bandaging or hosiery. Zipzoc is a preservative free dressing thus reducing sensitivity reactions, and it contains white soft paraffin and liquid paraffin so it will not dry or adhere. Benefits Ease of Use Stocking presentation means the product is easy to apply and remove with less mess therefore saving time. Low adherence means Zipzoc should not stick to the wound surface and so can be used with confidence as the primary contact layer. Patient Comfort Contains zinc oxide which is soothing and promotes healing. Preservative free formulation means skin reactions are less likely for patients with sensitive skin. Zipzoc and a bandage are usually thin enough to allow patients to wear normal shoes. Composition A sterile rayon stocking impregnated with an ointment containing 20% Zinc Oxide Ph Eur. Each stocking contains a mean value of 41.5g ointment. Instructions for Use Zipzoc* stockings should be applied to the lower leg from toe to just below the knee. If applying Zipzoc over another wound dressing, draw up Zipzoc, apply dressing and draw down Zipzoc. Keep foot positioned at 90 degrees and smooth away wrinkles if necessary. A light bandage such as Easifix can be applied over stocking to protect clothing. In chronic venous insufficiency Zipzoc can be used as a primary contact layer under compression bandages. To remove Zipzoc carefully cut off and dispose of stocking.
