Ferris PolyWICWound Filler, 4g, 3 x 3

What is FR5733-Each Ferris PolyWIC Wound Filler, 4g, 3 x 3?

The FR5733-Each Ferris PolyWIC Wound Filler, 4g, 3 x 3 is a sterile, non-adherent wound dressing engineered for managing moderate to heavily exuding cavity wounds. Measuring 3 x 3 inches (8cm x 8cm) and weighing 4 grams, this polymeric foam dressing absorbs excess fluid while maintaining a moist wound environment critical for tissue regeneration. It is ideal for deep wounds with dead space, such as pressure ulcers, surgical cavities, or traumatic injuries. The dressing's unique moisture-balancing technology allows it to donate or absorb fluid based on wound bed conditions, minimizing dehydration and disruption during changes.

Key features

• High Absorption — Thick foam membrane rapidly absorbs heavy exudate.
• Moisture Balancing — Automatically adjusts to wound fluid levels to prevent dryness.
• Expandable Design — Gently expands to fill wound cavities and wick fluid.
• Perforated for Custom Fit — Can be cut to size without fraying for precise application.
• Reduces Tissue Trauma — Minimizes need for wound bed cleansing during changes.
• Sterile Single-Use — Packaged individually to maintain hygiene.
• Non-Adherent Surface — Prevents sticking to delicate granulation tissue.

How does FR5733-Each Ferris PolyWIC Wound Filler, 4g, 3 x 3 compare?

Compared to standard polyurethane foams or gauze fillers, the Ferris PolyWIC offers superior fluid handling with its dynamic moisture exchange. Unlike basic cavity fillers that require frequent changes or wet-to-dry techniques, this dressing maintains optimal moisture balance, reducing nurse time and patient discomfort. It outperforms traditional ropes and ribbons in absorption capacity and conformability, especially in irregular or deep wounds. While more costly than gauze, its efficiency and healing support justify the price in chronic wound care.
