Zetuvit Plus Silicone Border

Estimating how the amount of of exudate in a wound will develop over time can be difficult.  While moist wounds heal 2 to 3 times faster than dry wounds, skin maceration, prolonged wound healing times and pain are some of the factors that can result from inadequate exudate management.

Zetuvit Plus Silicone Border Dressings help in letting you take back control.  Zetuvit Plus Silicone Border dressings can be used in both levels 2 and 3 of the WUWHS classification system(6).  Using this dressing means you are prepared even if the amount of exudate increases.
