Durafiber Gelling Fiber Dressing is a soft sterile non-woven pad or ribbon dressing composed of cellulose ethyl sulphonate fibers. This highly absorbent and conformable dressing is designed to rapidly form a clear, cool gel in contact with wound fluid. This gel absorbs excess fluid, locks exudate away from the wound, provides a moist environment to support autolytic debridement and conforms intimately to the wound bed.

Features

• Up to 7 day wear time.
• Clean one piece removal.
• Effective fluid management.
• Minimal nursing time for dressing changes.
• Comfortable gel matrix with minimal shrinkage.
