Frequently asked questions
Will this dressing stick to the wound bed?

Can this be used for wounds with drainage?
Yes. The dressing features a dedicated absorbent cushion pad as the second layer, which is specifically engineered to manage and absorb wound exudate while providing extra cushioning.
Is it safe for people with latex allergies?
