Smith & Nephew Durafiber Gelling Fiber Dressing, Soft, Sterile, Non-Woven
PRODUCT DETAILS
The Smith & Nephew Durafiber Gelling Fiber Dressing is a soft, sterile, non-woven wound dressing designed to provide exceptional care for chronic and acute wounds. Made from cellulose ethyl sulfonate fibers, this advanced dressing quickly transforms into a clear, cool gel upon contact with wound fluid. It absorbs excess fluid, locks exudate away, and promotes a moist healing environment, supporting autolytic debridement. Its conformable design ensures intimate contact with the wound bed, reducing trauma and pain during removal.
