This Excilon I.V./drain split dressing is a sterile 4 inch x 4 inch square sponge for placement around drains, catheters, chest tubes, I.V.s, and tracheotomies. It fits facilities that want a dressing with superior absorbency, fast wicking action, and a pre-cut T-slit that sits snugly around tubing without needing sterile scissors.
