Smith & Nephew Exu-Dry Anti-Shear Super Absorbent Dressing, 6 x 9 inch

Smith & Nephew Exu-Dry Anti-Shear Super Absorbent Dressing, 6 x 9 inch

The Exu-Dry Anti-Shear Super Absorbent Dressing from Smith & Nephew is a one-piece, multilayer non-adherent wound dressing designed for wounds with moderate to heavy drainage. It's a smart choice for patients and caregivers managing pressure injuries, surgical sites, skin tears, burns, and other exuding wounds where comfort and protection matter. Its standout feature is a built-in anti-shear layer that helps reduce shearing forces, which may help protect fragile granulation tissue as it heals.

Exu-Dry works by wicking drainage away from the wound and dispersing it throughout the entire dressing, helping to keep excess moisture off the wound bed and surrounding skin. This helps reduce the risk of maceration and irritation and can extend the time between dressing changes. 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 stays nonadherent to the wound for more comfortable, less traumatic changes.

This dressing measures 6 x 9 inches (15 x 23 centimeters) and is offered in multiple purchase options: a single dressing, a box of 12, or a case of 48. Its full-absorbency construction is compatible with most topical agents, liquids, and creams, giving you flexibility in your wound care routine. Wound care supplies like this are typically FSA/HSA eligible. Choose the quantity that fits your needs from the option selector below.
