Overview

Easy To Remove Minimizing Pain

The unique cellulose acetate mesh of ADAPTIC™ Dressing protects regenerating tissue by minimizing wound trauma at dressing change.¹

Reduces The Risk Of Maceration And Adherence

The pore size of ADAPTIC™ Dressing allows easy passage of exudate to the secondary absorbent dressing, thus minimizing the risk of pooling and maceration at the wound site. It also reduces the risk of tissue adherence to both the ADAPTIC™ Dressing and the secondary dressing.¹

ADAPTIC™ Dressing Can Be Cut

ADAPTIC™ Dressing Can Be Cut to suit the size of the wound without unraveling and shredding.

ADAPTIC™ Non-Adhering Dressing

The unique structure knitted cellulose acetate fabric mesh impregnated with a petrolatum emulsion is intended as a primary dressing to be used with a secondary dressing
Mesh allows for exudate to pass easily through to a secondary absorbent dressing, helping to prevent maceration of the wound surface and minimizing the risk of pooling¹
Knitted cellulose acetate fabric allows ADAPTIC™ Dressing to be cut to wound size without unravelling or shredding¹
ADAPTIC™ Non-Adhering Dressing removes cleanly from the wound, minimizing trauma and pain¹ during dressing changes
In turn, this reduces the risk of tissue adherence to both ADAPTIC™ Dressing and the secondary dressing, and minimizes patient pain¹

Inappropriate dressing selection that causes the dressing to adhere to the wound bed can cause trauma and pain when the dressing is removed.²
Dressings that adhere to the wound bed may result in additional practitioner time and use of resources.
