Description

Improved highly conformable superabsorbent dressing with integrated wound contact layer and blue outer clothing-protection layer for greater patient comfort. Exudate and bacteria are locked away within the superabsorbent core.

Indications

Heavily exuding wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, oncology wounds, partial-thickness burns, postoperative wounds, traumatic wounds and skin graft donor sites. Also suitable for leaky legs and lymphorrhoea. Can be used under compression.

Contraindications

Do not use on patients sensitive to any component of the dressing, or on lightly or non-exuding wounds. Not for use in cavity wounds as the dressing will expand on absorption of exudate. Do not cut or tear.
