Wound contact dressings
Adaptic
A non-adherent primary dressing comprised of knitted cellulose acetate mesh impregnated with a petrolatum emulsion. Can be cut to size. Can be used with compression therapy.
Adaptic Digit
Non-adherent digit dressing made of a tacky, silicone-coated, open-knit, cellulose fabric with a double-coiled tubular bandage.
Adaptic Touch
Non-adherent primary wound contact layer comprising an unique cellulose acetate mesh coated with a soft tack silicone.
Aquacel Ag
Soft, sterile, non-woven pad or ribbon dressing composed of Hydrofiber (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) impregnated with 1.2% ionic silver. Ribbon dressing incorporates stitch-bonded fibres to increase tensile strength. Absorbs wound fluid and transforms into a soft gel.
Aquacel Ag Burn
Absorbent, white fibrous dressing composed of Hydrofiber (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) impregnated with 1.2% ionic silver. A nylon thread is used to stitch bond the product along its length.
Aquacel Ag Extra
Soft, sterile dressing made from two layers of 1.2% ionic silver-impregnated Hydrofiber (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) stitched together with strengthening fibres. Absorbs wound fluid and transform into a soft gel and provides nine times stronger tensile strength and 50% greater absorption compared with Aquacel Ag.
Aquacel Ag Surgical Cover Dressing
Cover dressing comprising absorbent, white fibrous dressing pad of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, impregnated with 1.2% ionic silver. Backed by a waterproof polyurethane film, with a conformable hydrocolloid adhesive.
Aquacel Ag+ Extra
Soft, sterile non-woven dressing made from two layers of 1.2% ionic silver-impregnated Hydrofiber; sodium carboxymethylcellulose and enhanced with antibiofilm technology, stitched together with cellulose-strengthening fibres. Absorbs wound fluid, and disrupts and breaks down biofilm to expose and kill bacteria, while preventing biofilm re-formation. Provides nine times stronger tensile strength and 50% greater absorption than Aquacel Ag.
Aquacel Extra
Soft, sterile, non-woven pad or ribbon dressing composed of Hydrofiber (sodium carboxymethylcellulose). Absorbs wound fluid and transforms into a soft gel. Provides nine times stronger tensile strength and greater absorption compared with Aquacel.
Aquacel Ribbon
Soft, sterile, non-woven, Hydrofiber (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) ribbon dressing with stitch-bonded fibres to increase tensile strength. Absorbs wound fluid and transforms into a soft gel.
Aquacel Surgical Cover Dressing
Conformable cover dressing formed of a soft, sterile, non-woven pad of sodium carboxymethylcellulose with a waterproof polyurethane film backing and hydrocolloid adhesive.
Askina SilNet
Soft silicone wound contact layer designed to protect the wound site and improve comfort during changes.
Atrauman
Non-adherent, polyester mesh wound contact layer. 1mm pore size and impregnation of neutral triglycerides to prevent penetration of granulation tissue into dressing. Effective for up to 7 days. Petrolatum free.
Atrauman Ag
Support fabric made of polyamide fibres coated with elemental silver. Impregnated with neutral tri-glycerides. Non-medicated and does not contain paraffin.
Bactigras
Medicated paraffin gauze containing chlorhexidine acetate 0.5%. (Chlorhexidine gauze dressing BP).
Biatain Contact
One-sided silicone contact layer for atraumatic removal and wound protection. Composed of a perforated transparent polyurethane support film and a wound direct-contact layer in a silicone gel.
CarboFlex
Sterile, non-adhesive, multilayer dressing with a highly absorbent wound contact layer, a one-way, water-resistant film to delay strikethrough to the carbon layer, thereby prolonging its odour-adsorptive properties, an activated charcoal cloth, an absorbent pad for comfort and a water-resistant top layer.
Dermisplus Contact
Dressing with atraumatic silicone gel face to reduce potential trauma and minimise pain caused during removal of secondary dressings.
HydroTac
A hydro-responsive wound dressing with AquaClear technology, comprising a hydropolymer gel wound contact layer and an absorbent polyurethane foam layer. An adhesive version is also available in HydroTac Comfort.
HydroTac Comfort
A hydro-responsive wound dressing with AquaClear technology, comprising a hydropolymer gel wound contact layer, with a polyurethane foam film backing and an adhesive border. A non-adhesive version is also available in HydroTac Comfort.
Kaltostat
Sterile non-woven calcium-sodium alginate fibre dressing. On contact with a bleeding wound, promotes haemostasis.
Kliniderm Silicone Wound Contact Layer
One-sided soft-silicone wound contact layer with porous structure that allows exudate to pass into outer absorbent dressing. One-sided layer prevents secondary dressing from sticking to wound contact layer. Can also be used as a protective layer on non-exuding wounds, on areas with fragile skin and in negative pressure wound therapy.
Lomatuell Pro
Gel-forming wound contact dressing. Consists of a wide mesh tulle and a coating compound made from petroleum jelly and hydrocolloid. The hydrocolloid particles gel when in contact with wound exudate and the petroleum jelly moisturises dry areas in the wound bed and edges. The open mesh structure promotes transfer of excess exudate to a secondary dressing. Can be cut to size and applied on either side.
Mepilex Transfer
A soft silicone contact layer, with an ultra-conformable foam that allows exudate to be transferred vertically into a secondary absorbent pad.
Mepitel
Soft silicone wound contact layer with silicone on both sides of the flexible polyamide mesh
Mepitel One
Soft silicone wound contact layer with silicone on one side of a highly transparent and flexible polyurethane mesh.
N-A Ultra
Primary wound contact layer consisting of a knitted viscose rayon sheet with a silicone coating.
Silon-TSR
Ultra-thin, flexible, transparent silicone dressing. It can be repositioned after application and will not integrate with the wound bed.
SilTact
Thin, flexible, non-adherent wound contact layer consisting of a polyester mesh coated in soft silicone. Open mesh design intended to facilitate fluid management. Use with a secondary absorbent dressing. As it will not dry out, it will remain in place for up to 14 days.
UrgoStart Contact
Flexible non-occlusive contact layer containing a protease inhibitor (TLC-NOSF) that inhibits matrix metalloproteinases and promotes the formation of new blood vessels. Use with a secondary absorbent dressing for exuding wounds. NICE 2019 medical technology guidance (MTG42) states that evidence supports the case for adopting UrgoStart dressings to treat diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers.

Flexible contact layer containing the TLC (technology lipido-colloid) healing matrix to provide a nurturing environment for healing and harm-free care.
UrgoTul Absorb
A soft-adherent foam featuring the TLC (technology lipido-colloid) healing matrix to provide a nurturing environment for healing and harm-free care.
UrgoTul Absorb Border
An absorbent foam with silicone border featuring the TLC Healing Matrix to provide a nurturing environment for healing and harm-free care.
UrgoTul Duo
A non-adherent light absorbency contact layer containing TLC Healing Matrix to promote wound healing and allow pain-free dressing changes. It is composed of a polyester mesh impregnated with hydrocolloid and petroleum jelly particles, combined with a protective viscose lining for light absorbency.
UrgoTul Silver
Flexible and conformable antimicrobial contact layer, consisting of a non-adherent TLC-Ag Healing Matrix impregnated with silver particles. Promotes wound healing and provides atraumatic dressing changes.
