Kerramax Care is a super absorbent dressing for use on exuding wounds. Wound fluid can delay the wound healing process. Kerramax absorbs exudate and locks it away inside the dressing. Kerramax has high absorption levels which enables fewer dressing changes, this minimises disturbance to the wound.

• With a heat sealed border to prevent leakage.
• For use under all forms of compression.
