ADAPTIC™ dressing is a primary dressing made of knitted cellulose acetate fabric and impregnated with a specially formulated petrolatum emulsion. It is designed to help protect the wound while preventing the dressing from adhering to the wound⁷³ and to minimize pain and trauma upon removal^{74, 75}

Benefits of ADAPTIC™ Non-Adhering Dressing

• Helps prevent dressing adherence
• Helps protect regenerating tissue and minimise patient pain at dressing changes
• Helps prevent pooling of fluid at the wound site
• Exudate easily passes through to the secondary absorbent dressing
• Can be cut to wound size without unravelling or shredding

How does ADAPTIC™ Non-Adhering Dressing work?

ADAPTIC™ Non-Adhering Dressing protects the fragile tissue in wounds by its' unique structure with small mesh size, preventing tissue to adhere to either the ADAPTIC™ or the secondary dressing on top of it. As it is knitted, ADAPTIC™ can be cut to wound size. The mesh allows for exudates to easily pass through to the secondary dressing used, preventing maceration of the wound surface.
