Exu-Dry Slit Tube Wound Dressing, 2 x 3 inch

Smith Exu-Dry Slit Tube Wound Dressing, 2 x 3 inch

The Smith Exu-Dry Slit Tube Wound Dressing is a highly absorbent, non-adherent dressing designed for wounds around tubes, drains, and other insertion sites. The pre-cut slit allows the dressing to fit neatly around a catheter or drainage tube, making it ideal for clinicians and caregivers managing moderately to heavily exuding wounds. Its full-absorbency, multilayer construction helps protect the wound while keeping the surrounding skin dry and comfortable.

Exu-Dry works by wicking drainage away from the wound and distributing it throughout the entire dressing, which helps reduce the risk of maceration and irritation to the wound and surrounding tissue. Because it is non-adherent, it stays comfortable during wear and lifts away cleanly at dressing changes without sticking to delicate healing tissue. A built-in anti-shear layer helps reduce shearing forces, offering added protection for fragile granulation tissue and supporting the natural healing process. High absorbency also means drainage is captured efficiently, which may help reduce the frequency of dressing changes.

This dressing measures 2 x 3 inches (5 x 8 centimeters) and features a one-piece, multilayer sealed construction that eliminates frayed edges, loose threads, and linting. It can be used as a wet or dry dressing on clean or contaminated wounds because it is permeable and nonocclusive, and it is compatible with most topical agents, liquids, and creams. It is available as a single dressing or a case of 50, and this product may be FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred option below.
