Frequently asked questions
Does DURAFIBER Ag effectively manage wound fluid?
Yes, DURAFIBER Ag is designed to rapidly form a clear, cool gel upon contact with wound fluid. This action helps to efficiently absorb excess fluid and lock exudate away from the wound, preventing maceration of surrounding tissue.
Does this dressing help with natural wound cleaning?
Absolutely. DURAFIBER Ag provides and maintains a moist wound environment, which is crucial for supporting the body’s natural autolytic debridement processes. This helps in the natural cleaning of the wound.
Is the dressing strong enough to stay intact?
Yes, a key feature of DURAFIBER Ag is its high integral wet strength. This ensures that the dressing maintains its form and stays intact within the wound bed, even when saturated with fluid.
What is the size of each dressing?
The specific size of each dressing in this product configuration is 10X12.
How many dressings come in one package?
This product is supplied as a carton of 10 units (CTN10).
Is this a brand new product?
Yes, this product is in Factory New condition.

How does the gel formation benefit wound healing?
The DURAFIBER Ag dressing rapidly forms a clear, cool gel upon contact with wound exudate, which provides multiple benefits for effective wound management:
- Exudate Management: The gel actively absorbs excess fluid and locks the exudate away from the wound periphery, which is crucial for preventing maceration of the surrounding skin.
- Debridement Support: It maintains a moist wound environment, which facilitates natural autolytic debridement (the removal of dead tissue).
- Intimate Conformity: Due to its high integral wet strength, the dressing maintains structural integrity, allowing the gel structure to conform precisely and intimately to the contours of the wound bed throughout the wear time.
Does it absorb excess fluid effectively?
Yes, the DURAFIBER Ag dressing effectively absorbs and locks away excess fluid (exudate) from the wound bed. This action is crucial for:
- Minimizing the risk of maceration (skin breakdown due to excessive moisture).
- Protecting the peri-wound skin (skin around the wound) from moisture-related damage.
