Frequently asked questions

Does it effectively prevent leakage from heavy exudate?

Yes, this dressing features a specialized wicking layer that distributes fluid evenly across the pad. This prevents localized saturation and works alongside a heat-sealed border to provide a secure, reliable barrier against leakage.

Is the material gentle on sensitive skin?

Absolutely. It is constructed with soft, non-woven materials on both sides, specifically designed to minimize skin irritation and provide maximum comfort for the patient during the healing process.

Can I use this dressing as a primary layer?

Yes, the KerraMax Care Gentle Border is highly versatile and is suitable for use as either a primary or secondary dressing, depending on your specific wound management needs.

Does it work well for high-exudate wounds?

It is specifically engineered for high-exudate management. It utilizes advanced absorptive polymers that retain significant amounts of fluid, ensuring the dressing stays effective for longer periods.

Can it be layered with other dressings?

Yes, you can layer it with other KerraMax Care products. This is an excellent way to increase the total absorbency capacity when dealing with wounds that produce exceptionally high levels of exudate.

Is this dressing compatible with compression wraps?

Yes, it is designed to be compatible with low to moderate compression wraps, making it a flexible choice for clinical or home-care wound management protocols.

Does the dressing help with wound healing?

Beyond just moisture management, the dressing is designed to assist in reducing proteinases (MMPs) within the wound environment, which is beneficial for managing chronic or acute wounds effectively.

How does the wicking layer improve performance?

The integrated wicking layer prevents exudate from concentrating in one single area. By spreading the fluid throughout the entire pad, it prevents saturation breakdown and significantly enhances the longevity of the dressing.

Is the heat-sealed border durable?

Yes, the heat-sealed border is a key structural feature. It serves as a secure fluid containment barrier, ensuring that exudate is held within the dressing rather than escaping at the edges.

Is this suitable for both home and clinical use?

Certainly. The professional design makes it ideal for:

  • Clinical settings
  • Long-term care facilities
  • Home wound care environments
