Select cover dressing based on volume of exudate and need for bacterial barrier note cover dressing also provides insulation deep or tunneled wounds that are wet.
Need primary filler.
Allows moisture vapour and gases to escape but is water resistant.
Our moisture retentive dressings also act as a barrier against bacteria and absorb excess wound fluid creating opportune conditions for healing.
