Convenient, all-in-one sterile dressing reduces application time.
Waterproof barrier allows patients to bathe or shower without removing dressing.
Unique, non-adherent pad won`t stick to the wound, allowing normal wound healing processes to occur with less pain and trauma.
Breathable film allows skin to function normally with good exchange of moisture vapor and oxygen.
Conformable dressing is easy to apply, and stretches with the skin to promote longer wear time.
