3M™ Kerracel™ Gelling Fiber Dressing, CWL1033, 4 in x 5 in (10 cm x 12.5 cm), 10/ct, 10ct/Cs
Product details
Made from 100% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) fibres, Kerracel Dressing absorbs and retains high levels of exudate¹ *, forming a gel¹ * which conforms to the wound bed and supports a moist wound healing environment. As fluid is absorbed vertically and locked away¹, peri-wound skin is protected from maceration². The unstitched design aids micro-contouring to the wound bed³ *, minimising dead space where bacteria can proliferate*. Conformability aids ease of application⁴, whilst its ability to retain integrity when wet¹ * helps to facilitate integral removal.
- Conformable¹
- Can be used under compression² *
