Smith & Nephew Exu-Dry Anti-Shear Super Absorbent Dressing, 9 x 15 Inch

Smith & Nephew Exu-Dry Anti-Shear Super Absorbent Dressing, 9 x 15 Inch

The Smith & Nephew Exu-Dry Anti-Shear Super Absorbent Dressing is a one-piece, multi-layer wound dressing designed for wounds with moderate to heavy drainage. Ideal for caregivers, clinicians, and patients managing exuding wounds, its standout feature is the anti-shear layer that helps reduce friction and shearing forces, which may help protect fragile granulation tissue during healing.

Exu-Dry works by wicking drainage away from the wound and distributing it throughout the entire dressing, drawing excess fluid off the wound bed to help reduce the risk of maceration and irritation to the wound and surrounding skin. Because it holds so much exudate, it can help reduce the frequency of dressing changes, and its non-adherent wound-contact surface makes application and removal more comfortable for patients both during and between changes. The dressing is permeable and nonocclusive, so it can be used as a wet or dry dressing on clean or contaminated wounds.

This dressing measures 9 x 15 inches (23 x 38 cm) and is compatible with most topical agents, liquids, and creams, giving you flexibility in your wound-care routine. It is available in multiple purchase options, including a single dressing or a case of 30, so you can choose what best fits your needs. Many home wound-care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible.
