Cuticell Silicone Wound Contact Dressings can remain in place for several days, protecting the wound. Cuticell is designed to protect and minimize pain at dressing changes. It is made with a smooth acetate fabric with knit structure that is permeable to air and allows exudate to drain freely into an absorbent secondary dressing. Cuticell dressings are ideal for 1st and 2nd degree burns, cuts and abrasions, lacerations, radiation injuries, and donor and recipient skin graft sites.
