Smith & Nephew Durafiber Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing, 4 x 4¾ Inch (120/CS)

Yes, the Smith & Nephew DURAFIBER dressing is specifically engineered for rapid gel formation upon contact with wound exudate. This feature is a core component of its advanced wound management capabilities.

When the dressing interacts with wound fluid, it transforms into a clear, cool gel. This process offers significant benefits for maintaining an optimal healing environment:

• Effective Exudate Management: The gel rapidly absorbs excess fluid and locks the exudate away from the wound bed, promoting a cleaner healing surface.
• Support for Autolytic Debridement: By controlling fluid levels, the dressing maintains a beneficial moist wound environment that supports the body’s natural process of autolytic debridement.
• Intimate Conformity: The highly conformable material ensures the dressing conforms closely to the wound surface for comprehensive coverage.

Yes, the Smith & Nephew DURAFIBER dressing is specifically engineered for high absorbency and effective exudate management, making it suitable for moderate to heavily exuding wounds.

Its key functional benefits include:

• Rapid Gel Formation: The dressing rapidly absorbs excess wound fluid, immediately transforming into a clear, cool gel upon contact with the exudate.
• Secure Exudate Management: This gel function effectively locks the absorbed fluid away from the surrounding tissue, maintaining a clean healing environment.
• Wound Bed Support: By maintaining a moist wound environment, the dressing actively supports the body’s natural process of autolytic debridement.
• Conformability: The material is highly conformable, ensuring intimate contact with the entire wound surface (measuring 10X12 CM) for comprehensive coverage.

Yes, the DURAFIBER dressing is specifically engineered for intimate conformity. This means the material is highly conformable and ensures close contact with the entire contours of the wound bed for comprehensive coverage.

This design is essential for performance, as it helps create and maintain the optimal moist wound environment that actively supports the natural process of autolytic debridement.

The dimensions of this DURAFIBER dressing are 10 cm x 12 cm.

Yes, the condition of the Smith & Nephew DURAFIBER dressing is guaranteed. This item is sold as Factory New, ensuring its full integrity and optimal performance upon delivery.

This specialized DURAFIBER dressing is intended for managing wounds that produce moderate to heavy exudate (fluid).

It is engineered to create an optimal moist healing environment by:

• Superior Absorption: The dressing rapidly absorbs excess fluid and securely locks the exudate away from the wound bed.
• Rapid Gel Formation: It instantly forms a clear, cool gel upon contact with wound fluid.
• Autolytic Debridement Support: By maintaining a crucial moist environment, it actively supports the natural process of autolytic debridement (removal of dead tissue).

The Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) for this dressing is 66800551.

Yes, the Smith & Nephew DURAFIBER dressing is engineered to support the natural healing process, including autolytic debridement.

It achieves this by creating and maintaining an optimal wound environment conducive to this process, utilizing the following features:

• Maintains Moist Environment: Crucial for allowing the body’s enzymes to break down necrotic tissue.
• Rapid Gel Formation: Forms a clear, cool gel immediately upon contact with wound fluid.
• Exudate Management: Highly absorbs excess fluid and locks the absorbed exudate away from the wound bed.
• Intimate Conformity: The dressing is highly conformable, ensuring comprehensive contact with the wound surface for maximum effectiveness.

Yes, the dressing is specifically engineered to lock absorbed exudate away from the wound bed, which helps protect the surrounding skin and promotes a healthier healing environment.

Yes, the DURAFIBER dressing is designed to maintain an optimal moist wound environment, which is crucial for supporting the body’s natural healing processes, including autolytic debridement.
