Product details
Kerramax Care Dressings offer an advanced method of absorbing exudate from wounds utilising Exu-Safe™ Technology built into the dressing core. This super-absorbent core absorbs and retains moderate to high levels of fluid away from the wound bed – including bacteria² * and MMPs³ * - protecting delicate wound tissue and surrounding skin whilst helping to reduce the risk of maceration, even under compression⁴ *. The unique wicking layer draws up serous and viscous⁵ exudate, distributing it evenly throughout the dressing, utilising the full absorption capacity and helping to prevent bulking. Its heat-sealed border prevents exudate leakage. The dressings have a soft, non-woven material on both sides of the dressing, so either side can be placed on the wound whilst being comfortable for the patient.
Soft, conformable and foldable⁵
Easy to apply⁵ using either side of the dressing
