Description
KerraCel™ 100% CMC Wound Dressing – Advanced Care for Exuding Wounds
KerraCel™ is a soft, sterile, and highly absorbent wound dressing made from 100% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), specifically designed to manage low to heavily exuding wounds. As exudate is absorbed, the CMC transforms into a gentle gel that conforms to the wound bed, creating an optimal moist environment for healing and aiding in the removal of nonviable tissue without harming healthy tissue.
Key Benefits:
-
Highly Absorbent: Effectively manages wound exudate, helping reduce the risk of maceration.
-
Conforms to Wound Bed: Forms a soft, cohesive gel that gently conforms to wound contours for improved comfort and healing support.
-
Moist Wound Environment: Promotes autolytic debridement and supports natural wound healing.
-
Nonwoven, Soft, and Sterile: Ideal for sensitive wounds; helps maintain wound integrity while being easy to apply and remove.
-
Compatible with Compression Therapy: Can be safely used under compression bandages.
