Super Absorbent Dressing Duramax S Silicone Adhesive 4 X 4 Inch Square, 400/CS

Duramax S super absorbent dressing is a sterile 4 x 4 inch square dressing with silicone adhesive. It is a practical choice for wound care settings managing moderate to heavy exudate, especially when buyers want absorbency, a moist wound environment, and gentler dressing changes. The dressing uses a breathable, non-occlusive design and a cross-linked silicone contact layer that helps minimize pain on removal.
