Opti-Heal Hydration Multi Purpose Dressing are a self-adhesive (via acrylic adhesive surround), translucent, flexible gel with excellent absorbability. The Hydrogel Layer collects exudate and maintains a moist healing environment for accelerated healing and has a cooling and soothing effect on the skin. It can absorb wound exudate from lightly exudating wounds, maintain a moist healing environment, hasten epithelization as well as reduce healing time.
The Hydration Multi Purpose Dressings offer dynamic moisture management for optimum healing.
