Abena Foam Dressing

Features of Abena Foam Dressing

• Protective Backing - Made of polyurethane film, this layer acts as a bacteria barrier while allowing an optimal Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR)
• Absorbent Foam - Made of polyurethane foam, this layer manages high levels of exudate, helping to prevent maceration. It also offers additional comfort and cushioning protection.
