• The hydrocellular foam core is highly absorbent and a has absorption capacity for up to 7 days
• The perforated wound contact layer is coated with soft silicone gel adhesive. The gel adhesive flows into the crevices of the skin on application and on removal it flows out thus minimizing trauma to the wound
