3M™ ADAPTIC™ non-adherent wound dressing, sterile, 7.6 x 20.3 cm, 24 ST

The 3M™ ADAPTIC™ wound dressing is a sterile, non-adherent dressing developed for atraumatic wound care. It protects the wound and promotes healing without sticking to the wound bed.

The Adaptic Wound Dressing is a primary dressing made from a cellulose acetate mesh impregnated with a special petrolatum emulsion.

Properties

• The Adaptic Wound Dressing's unique cellulose acetate mesh protects the newly forming tissue by minimising trauma during dressing changes^.1
• The pore size of the Adaptic dressing allows exudate to pass freely through to the secondary dressing, minimising the risk of exudate accumulation and maceration at the wound site. It also reduces the risk of tissue adhering to either the Adaptic dressing or the secondary dressing^.1
