Product Description
3M CWL1032 - Kerracel Gelling Fiber Dressing, 2 X 2in (5 X 5cm), 10/bx
3M CWL1032 Kerracel Gelling Fiber Dressing
KERRACEL Dressing is a versatile carboxymethyl cellulose primary dressing for moderate to heavily exuding wounds. It uses the same gelling fiber technology as AQUACEL Extra with an efficient design that micro-contours more closely to the wound bed, to minimize dead space where bacteria can live.* ,1,2 Its efficient design enables more absorbency*,2 with the ability to retain its integrity when pulled from a wound.
Features and Benefits of 3M CWL1032 Kerracel Gelling Fiber Dressing
- Conformable
- Can be used under compression
- Cuttable
- Vertical absorption
- Up to 7 days wear time
KERRACEL Dressing shrinks less than AQUACEL Extra, allowing you to utilize more of the dressing on the wound surface
KERRACEL Dressing micro-contours to the wound bed to diminish dead space better than AQUACEL Extra
Micro-contouring is a significant benefit of CMC dressings. KERRACEL Dressing design allows the full surface of the dressing to come into contact with the wound bed, minimizing dead space where bacteria can live and proliferate.
- AQUACEL Extra contains cellulose stitching to keep from falling apart when being pulled from the wound.
- The composition of the CMC in KERRACEL Dressing gives it the strength without the stitching.
- KERRACEL Dressing microcontours more closely to the wound bed than AQUACEL Extra to minimize dead space where bacteria can live and proliferate.
- Two agar plates were coated with a strain of MSSA. Each dressing was placed on top of the bacterial lawn and incubated at 37℃ overnight. Images were taken at 24 hours.
- Surviving MSSA can be seen along the cellulose stitching in AQUACEL Extra where it is not in contact with the surface.
