Advadraw

Product description

An absorbent, non-adherent dressing with a rapid wicking effect. Advadraw has a unique integrated central wicking layer between absorbent polyester/viscose fibres lined with perforated non-adherent film.

Fluid from the wound bed is rapidly absorbed into the dressing and distributed by the central layer resulting in sustained movement of exudate from a wound bed.

The wicking of fluid from the wound bed will promote autolytic debridement, deslough and debride wounds and help remove bacteria in the exudate.

Use

Advadraw is placed either side down onto the wound surface. Dressings can be placed side by side to cover large wound areas and layered to optimise absorbency. Advadraw can be cut to size ensuring that sharp scissors are used.

Secure with a secondary dressing of choice Advadraw may initially require changing daily but can be left in place for up to seven days.
