Durafiber Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing, 4 x 4 Inch

Smith Durafiber Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing, 4 x 4 Inch

The Smith Durafiber Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing is a highly absorbent, conformable dressing designed for moderately to heavily exuding wounds. It's ideal for anyone managing chronic or acute wounds—such as pressure injuries, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, and cavity wounds—where effective fluid management and a moist healing environment are important. On contact with wound fluid, Durafiber rapidly forms a clear, cool gel that absorbs excess exudate and holds it away from the wound bed.

As it gels, the dressing locks exudate away from the skin to help protect the surrounding tissue while maintaining a moist wound environment that supports natural autolytic debridement. Because it conforms intimately to the contours of the wound bed, Durafiber makes close contact where healing happens. Its high integral wet strength allows for easy, one-piece removal from moist and cavity wounds, which helps minimize trauma to the wound and reduce pain for the patient at dressing changes.

This 4 x 4 inch gelling fiber dressing is available in multiple purchase options—Single, Box of 10, and Case of 120—so you can stock the quantity that fits your needs at home or in a clinical setting. Many wound care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible. Please select your preferred option below.
