Details
Highlights
- Enables fluid transfer to a secondary dressing reducing the risk of exudate pooling and maceration3
- Protects the wound whilst minimising patient pain and trauma on removal and at dressing change4
- Suitable for use, under medical supervision, with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for the protection of fragile wound structures
- Cuttable
3M™ Adaptic™ Touch Dressing minimises adherence and trauma associated with dressing changes, resulting in newly-formed tissue being protected and pain being reduced.1
Adaptic Touch Dressing helps protect the wound while minimizing patient trauma at dressing change3 and risk of granulation tissue in-growth.4,5 The soft tack silicone helps prevent adherence of the secondary dressing to the wound.3,6 The optimized pore size allows visibility of the wound beneath without the need to remove the dressing and disturb the wound healing process.1
