Frequently asked questions
Does this dressing include anti-shear technology?
Yes, the Smith & Nephew Exu-Dry is specifically engineered with Anti-Shear Technology, making it suitable for fragile or shearing-prone skin areas.
This technology is delivered through a dedicated Anti Shear Layer made of high-density polyethylene, which is designed to:
- Minimize mechanical stress on the surrounding skin.
- Protect the delicate peri-wound skin during application and removal.
What is the absorbent material?
The medium absorbency feature of the Exu-Dry dressing is provided by its inner layers, which are composed of a highly absorbent rayon/cellulose blend.
This specialized blend effectively wicks and retains moderate levels of wound exudate, maintaining the integrity of the dressing’s four-layer structure.
Does the dressing use a superior four-layer design?
Yes, the Smith & Nephew Exu-Dry is engineered with a high-performance, one-piece, four-layer construction specifically designed for managing medium levels of exudate.
This sophisticated design prioritizes both absorption and comprehensive wound protection:
- Anti-Shear Protection: It includes a specialized Anti-Shear Layer made of high-density polyethylene to minimize friction and mechanical stress on the wound bed during patient movement.
- High Absorbency Core: The inner layers consist of a highly absorbent rayon/cellulose blend effective at wicking and retaining moderate wound fluid.
- Protective Outer Layers: Both the exterior and the wound contact layers are composed of high-density polyethylene, ensuring structural integrity and a protective interface.
What is the wound contact layer made of?
The layer of the dressing that is in direct contact with the wound is made of high-density polyethylene.
Does the dressing offer medium absorbency?
Yes, the Smith & Nephew Exu-Dry dressing is specifically designed for medium absorbency. It features highly absorbent inner layers made from a rayon/cellulose blend to effectively manage moderate levels of wound exudate.
What material is used for the outer protection?
The exterior of the dressing is protected by an outer layer made of high-density polyethylene.
Is the dressing 8 cm (3 inches)?
Yes, this Smith & Nephew Exu-Dry absorbent dressing has a diameter of 8 cm (3 inches). It is designed as a circular, one-piece disc suitable for managing wounds with medium levels of exudate.
What specialized configurations are offered?
The Smith & Nephew Exu-Dry dressing, available in the 8 cm (3”) size, is offered in two specialized shape configurations designed for specific wound care needs:
- Disc Shape (5999003): This is the standard circular pad configuration.
- Slit Disc Shape (5999003S): This variant features a slit, allowing the dressing to be applied securely around medical devices, tubes, or drains.
Both configurations are typically packaged in quantities of 100 units.
How many dressings come in a package?
Both available configurations (Disc and Slit Disc) of the 3-inch size are provided in a package quantity of 100 dressings.
These high-performance Exu-Dry dressings are designed for wounds with medium exudate and feature a beneficial four-layer construction, including a high-density polyethylene Anti-Shear Layer to help minimize mechanical stress on the wound site.
