About 5466800559-Box Durafiber Gelling Fiber Dressing 2 X 2
What is 5466800559-Box Durafiber Gelling Fiber Dressing 2 X 2?
The 5466800559-Box Durafiber Gelling Fiber Dressing 2 X 2 is a sterile, non-woven wound care solution made from cellulose ethyl sulphonate fibers. Designed for effective exudate management, it transforms into a soft, clear gel upon contact with wound fluid, helping maintain a moist healing environment. This promotes autolytic debridement while minimizing trauma during dressing changes. Its conformable structure fits snugly into irregular wound beds, making it suitable for cavity wounds and deep lesions.
