Description

  • Exu-Dry is a one-piece wound dressing made up of multiple layers
  • Outer Layer - High density polyethylene, Inner Layers - Highly absorbent rayon/cellulose blend, Anti Shear Layer - High density polyethylene, Wound Contact Layer - High density polyethylene
  • Non-adherent to the wound, EXU-DRY is more comfortable for patients during and between dressing changes
  • EXU DRY's anti-shear Layer helps reduce shearing thus may help protect fragile granulation tissue
  • Highly absorbent, EXU DRY helps reduce the risk of maceration and irritation to the wound and surrounding tissue
  • EXU DRY wicks away drainage from the wound into the entire dressing, reducing the frequency of dressing changes
  • Because EXU DRY is permeable and non-occlusive, it can be used as a wet or dry dressing on clean or contaminated wounds
  • Compatible with most topical agents, liquids and creams
  • Full absorbency

Frequently asked questions

Does this dressing feature advanced four-layer protection?

Yes, the EXU-DRY SLIT TB is engineered with a specialized four-layer construction for comprehensive wound management. This multi-layered structure is designed to provide effective absorption and protection against friction and shear forces.

Construction and Materials

The four distinct functional layers are:

  • Absorbent Core (Inner Layers): Utilizes a highly absorbent rayon/cellulose blend to effectively manage and lock away exudate.
  • Anti-Shear Layer: Constructed from high density polyethylene, which aids in structural support and minimizing friction.
  • Wound Contact Layer: Made of high density polyethylene, designed for safe direct contact with the wound bed.
  • Outer Layer: High density polyethylene, providing an external barrier.
Is the absorbency core highly effective?

Absolutely. The inner layers are made from a highly absorbent rayon/cellulose blend, specifically chosen to manage wound fluid and exudate effectively.

What are the exact dimensions of each dressing?

Each individual wound dressing measures 3 inches by 4 inches, making it suitable for specific wound care applications.

How many dressings are included in one package?

This product comes in a pack of 50 units (PK50), providing a substantial quantity for professional wound care.

Is the wound contact layer gentle?

Yes, the EXU-DRY SLIT TB dressing is engineered for effective and protective wound management using a specialized four-layer construction.

The layers are designed to minimize potential trauma and manage exudate:

  • Wound Contact Layer: This layer is made of high density polyethylene, designed to interface directly with the wound bed while offering structural protection.
  • Anti-Shear Protection: The dressing includes a dedicated anti-shear layer (also high density polyethylene) to help minimize friction and potential movement that could harm the wound site.
  • Absorbent Core: The inner layers utilize a highly absorbent rayon/cellulose blend to effectively pull and retain fluid (exudate) away from the wound.
Does it prevent friction and shearing?

Yes, it includes an Anti Shear Layer also constructed from high-density polyethylene, which provides structural integrity and protection against friction at the wound site.

Is this product suitable for professional use?

Yes, it is intended for professional wound care applications where highly absorbent, multi-layered dressings are required.

Can this dressing handle significant wound fluid?

This dressing is suitable for wounds requiring management of moderate to heavy exudate due to its highly absorbent inner layers.

Is the outer layer made from durable polyethylene?

Yes, the outer protective layer of the EXU-DRY dressing is constructed from high density polyethylene. This material provides durability and is also utilized for the anti-shear layer and the dedicated wound contact layer within the sophisticated four-layer design.

Does it have a special design for drainage tubes?

Yes, the slit design suggests it is ideal for application around drainage tubes or medical devices that penetrate the wound site.
