All exuding wounds – from light to heavily exuding – require a dressing that can manage exudate while meeting other clinical needs for wound healing. A multipurpose dressing (MPD) is a useful option in exuding wounds that have additional clinical needs, such as promoting wound bed preparation (WBP) and managing the risk of infection. The Curea range offers an absorbent MPD, a multipurpose alternative to foam dressings that manages exudate and infection risk by locking away bacteria and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and maintains a moist wound healing environment that creates conditions conducive to autolytic and mechanical debridement.
