Frequently asked questions
Is this dressing suitable for heavily weeping wounds?
Yes, this dressing is specifically engineered for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate. Its advanced gel-forming technology absorbs fluid to maintain the ideal moisture balance required for effective healing.
Does this dressing conform to deep or irregular wounds?
Absolutely. The 12-inch rope format is designed to conform easily to various wound shapes and sizes, ensuring complete coverage and consistent contact with the wound bed.
