Composite dressings are multi-layered and combine physically distinct components into one single dressing to treat varying problems. They can be used as primary dressings - over sutures, skin tears, etc. - or as secondary dressings - with impregnated gauzes or wound fillers. Easy to apply and remove, composite dressings are designed for low-to-moderate exudates. They are conformable and flexible enough to be used with most types of wounds. This cost effective dressing stretches with the skin to promote extended wear time.
