Optimise wound healing by balancing moisture

Exudate management enables you to balance moisture to promote wound healing — but choosing the right dressing depends on the amount of fluid and the fragility of the skin. Our line of moisture-balancing dressings covers the full range of wound care needs.

The right moisture balance at the right time

Some wounds may have a fairly consistent level of exudate during the healing process, while others vary from low to heavy as they heal. The moisture-balancing solutions we offer cover the exudate conditions you face. 

Tegaderm High Performance Adhesive products
Performance

The moisture-balancing dressing you choose should adapt with changing exudate levels in the wound. It needs to handle heavy exudate when necessary, while retaining required moisture under dry conditions.¹

Comfort

In addition to reliably managing moisture balance, the wound dressings you choose should also be comfortable for the patient to wear, particularly as the discomfort of the wound itself resolves. A comfortable dressing can help enhance the patient’s quality of life.²

Solutions

For all skin types, all wounds and all circumstances, better care means patients can get back to their lives quicker. You rely on science-based solutions to make that happen, and Solventum has them. We strive to provide solutions that respect and elevate the critical role skin plays in the well-being of every person. 

Decision guide

Choosing the right moisture-balancing dressings 

When it comes to your choice of moisture-balancing dressings, prioritising the best possible care means considering both the patient’s skin type as well as the level of exudate in the wound.
