Description

Indications

Non-exuding to low-exuding wounds, including leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers and long-standing acute wounds. Suitable for lining cavities or awkwardly placed wounds and for wicking deep wounds. Use with a secondary absorbent dressing for exuding wounds.

Contraindications

Do not use on infected or critically colonised wounds, cancerous wounds and fistulas that may reveal a deep abscess, or if there is a known sensitivity to the dressing
