Frequently Asked Questions On Hydrocellular Dressing

Hydrocellular dressings are popular because they are gentle on the wound yet effective and provide enhanced comfort and protection to patients. The micro-thin edges of the dressing allow it to stay securely in place without shifting. Thus, it can remain on the wound for a longer term and exudate can be monitored by its outer waterproof film layer.

• Partial-to-full thickness wounds
• Venous, arterial, diabetic and pressure ulcers
• Donor sites
