Exudate management
Based on the patient’s wound, skin type and clinical objectives, dressing options for comfort, absorption and protection are available:
bordered dressings for secure adhesion and controlling wound fluid, non-bordered dressing options for secondary retention or compression therapy and antimicrobial dressings to help prevent infection and biofilm.
Bordered dressings
A range of different shapes, sizes and bordered dressing variants, suitable for patients with fragile skin and hard-to-dress or awkward wound sites.
- Manage exudate – Highly absorbent but breathable dressings help remove excess wound fluid and balance wound moisture
- Conform to patient anatomy – Flexible, low-profile options in various shapes and sizes to adapt to wound locations and difficult-to-dress areas
- Help patient experience – Showerproof dressings and long wear times help quality of life and limit unnecessary dressing changes
- Minimize trauma on dressing changes – Gentle but secure silicone adhesion helps keep dressings in place but minimizes pain and trauma on removal
