Smith & Nephew EXU-DRY Anti-Shear Super Absorbent Dressing, Rectangle

The Smith & Nephew EXU-DRY Anti-Shear Super Absorbent Dressing is a one-piece, multi-layer rectangular wound dressing engineered to manage exudate while protecting fragile healing tissue. Its unique anti-shear layer helps reduce shearing forces on the wound bed, making it an excellent choice for patients with delicate granulation tissue or those at risk of skin breakdown from movement or repositioning.

Highly absorbent by design, EXU-DRY wicks drainage away from the wound and distributes it throughout the entire dressing, helping to reduce the risk of maceration and irritation to both the wound and surrounding skin. This full-absorbency action also means fewer dressing changes are typically needed, saving time for caregivers and reducing discomfort for patients.

Because the dressing is permeable and nonocclusive, it can be used as either a wet or dry dressing on clean or contaminated wounds, and it is compatible with most topical agents, liquids, and creams. The nonadherent surface helps ensure the dressing does not stick to the wound, providing a gentler experience during and between changes.

This rectangle wound dressing is available in multiple sizes — 3" x 4", 4" x 6", 6" x 9", and 9" x 15" — so simply select the size you need above or below to match your wound care requirements.

How does the anti-shear layer help with wound healing?
