Soft, conformable, polyurethane foam dressing with vapour-permeable film backing and an adhesive border. The dressing conforms to the wound bed to fill the gap and reduce pooling of exudate. Can be used under compression bandaging.

Silver alginate dressing. A highly-absorbent, sterile, non-woven, antimicrobial pad composed of calcium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and an ionic silver complex which releases silver ions in the presence of wound exudate.
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.
Gelling fiber dressing. Soft, sterile primary wound dressing made of non-woven sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) fibers with bicomponent fibers and a thermo-bonded net added for strength.
Soft, conformable, non-adhesive polyurethane foam dressing with vapour-permeable film backing. Bevelled edges. The dressing has 3DFit technology, which means the foam conforms to the wound bed to fill the gap and reduce pooling of exudate. Can be used under compression bandaging.
