3M™ Kerramax Care™ Dressings are a range of super-absorbent dressings that absorb and retain high amounts of wound exudate1*. The unique wicking layer evenly distributes fluid both horizontally and vertically throughout the dressing, utilizing the full absorption capacity. Exudate is locked away, including bacteria2* and MMPs3*, creating an optimal environment for wound healing, helping to transform patient outcomes. Its high conformability allows the dressing to be folded to suit a variety of different wounds.

Kerramax Care Dressings offer an advanced method of absorbing exudate from wounds utilising Exu-Safe™ Technology built into the dressing core. This super-absorbent core absorbs and retains moderate to high levels of fluid away from the wound bed – including bacteria2* and MMPs3* - protecting delicate wound tissue and surrounding skin whilst helping to reduce the risk of maceration, even under compression4*. The unique wicking layer draws up serous and viscous5 exudate, distributing it evenly throughout the dressing, utilising the full absorption capacity and helping to prevent bulking. Its heat-sealed border prevents exudate leakage. The dressings have a soft, non-woven material on both sides of the dressing, so either side can be placed on the wound whilst being comfortable for the patient. Soft, conformable and foldable5 Easy to apply5 using either side of the dressing Use under compression4
