Durafiber Gelling Fibre Dressing (1)

Every day, healthcare professionals continue to meet patients whose lives are badly affected by wounds. One element of wounds that they find predominantly tricky to manage is exudates.  To some extent, this is because of the problem of absorbing the profuse amounts of fluids that come from some wounds, plus the dangerous bacteria and enzymes found in wound fluid.

However, DURAFIBER Gelling Fibre Dressing can be an ideal solution in such situations. Smith & Nephew DURAFIBER Gelling Fibre is a kind of dressing that contains a safe gelling fibre filler, which absorbs excess fluid, and anti-microbial particles that are effective in controlling infections.

When DURAFIBER makes contact with exudates, the fibres hydrate and bulge as they absorb all the wound fluid creating a soft, cohesive gel sheet. The swelling or bulging of the fibres helps to lock in the absorbed exudates or any dangerous bacteria that would be within the gelled dressing environment. In terms of removal from the wound, DURAFIBER has a high integral wet strength that allows it to be gotten rid of easily in one piece.
