DURAFIBER Ag?

DURAFIBER Ag stands out for its ability to absorb and retain fluid under compression, minimising leakage and protecting surrounding skin. It offers dual-action antimicrobial activity by locking in harmful bacteria and killing them within the dressing. With minimal shrinkage and high tensile strength, it ensures sustained coverage and easy one-piece removal, reducing discomfort during dressing changes.
