About the product
Designed to adapt to irregular wound contours, 3M™ V.A.C.® Granufoam™ Dressings are ideal for a range of chronic, acute and sub-acute wounds. The reticulated open pores in the black polyurethane foam help to evenly distribute negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) across the wound bed, promoting tissue granulation formation and perfusion, while the hydrophobic properties enhance exudate removal.
