What is adaptic dressing?

Adaptic dressing is a type of non-adherent wound dressing that is designed to protect fragile and sensitive skin. It is made from a knitted viscose mesh that is coated with a soft silicone gel. This gel allows the dressing to gently adhere to the wound bed without sticking to the wound itself, reducing pain and trauma during dressing changes.

Adaptic dressing is highly absorbent and helps to maintain a moist wound environment, which is ideal for promoting the healing process. It also helps to reduce the risk of maceration and promotes autolytic debridement of necrotic tissue.

Adaptic dressing is commonly used for superficial wounds, burns, donor sites, and surgical incisions. It can be used as a primary dressing or as a secondary dressing over a primary wound contact layer. The dressing is available in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different wound sizes and shapes.

Overall, Adaptic dressing is a versatile and effective option for managing a variety of wounds, providing protection, comfort, and promoting optimal wound healing.
