Gentleheal Atraumatic Super Absorbent Foam Wound Dressing. This dressing has a silicone-coated surface to help minimize pain, even during dressing changes. Designed to help improve patient outcomes, reduce nursing time, and lower costs, the dressing is indicated for pressure, arterial, venous, and diabetic ulcers.
The new dressing contains 2 patent-pending technologies called Exulock and Sensil. Exulock wicks the exudate vertically, locking fluid away from the wound. Channels of highly absorbent granules form a hydrogel on contact with the wound fluid. Sensil is a silicone wound contact layer that gently adheres to the skin around the wound and minimizes the risk of corrosive wound fluid forming between the dressing and the skin, according to the manufacturer.
