Please note: All prices are for boxes.

The Solventum Kerramax Care™ Gentle Border (SKU PRD500-1174) is a sterile, advanced super-absorbent dressing designed for the management of moderately to heavily exuding wounds. This 4 inch x 4 inch (10 cm x 10 cm) dressing features a specialized super-absorbent core that utilizes Exu-Safe™ technology to wick, absorb, and lock away high volumes of wound fluid and bacteria. It is integrated with a soft silicone contact layer and border, providing a gentle, secure fit that minimizes trauma to the wound bed and surrounding skin during dressing changes. This combination ensures a high fluid-handling capacity while maintaining a moist environment conducive to healing.

Key Features

• Exu-Safe™ Super-Absorbent Core: Engineered to absorb large quantities of exudate and lock it vertically within the dressing, preventing fluid from leaking back onto the periwound skin even under compression.
• Gentle Silicone Border: Features a soft silicone adhesive that provides a secure hold while being specifically designed for patients with fragile or sensitive skin, reducing the risk of pain and skin stripping during removal.
• Horizontal and Vertical Wicking: Effectively moves fluid away from the wound surface into the core, which helps to significantly reduce the risk of maceration and promotes a cleaner wound environment.
• High Fluid Retention: Capable of holding absorbed fluid and bacteria even when the dressing is under a compression bandage or pressure, extending the time between dressing changes.
• Breathable Outer Backing: Includes a water-resistant and breathable top layer that prevents strike-through of fluids while allowing for moisture vapor exchange to maintain skin health.
• Soft and Conformable: The multi-layered construction remains flexible, allowing the dressing to conform to various body contours for improved patient comfort and mobility.

Ideal Clinical Applications

• Moderately to Heavily Exuding Wounds: The primary choice for managing wounds with significant drainage, including pressure injuries, leg ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers.
• Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs): Provides excellent moisture management for chronic lower-extremity wounds where periwound skin protection is critical.
• Surgical Dehiscence: Manages high fluid output from dehisced surgical sites while protecting the surrounding delicate tissue.
• Fragile Skin Management: Ideal for elderly or pediatric patients whose skin is prone to tearing or irritation from standard adhesives.

• Venous Leg Ulcers (VLUs): Highly effective when used under compression therapy due to its superior fluid-retention capabilities.

Important Safety Information

Do Not Cut: The dressing should not be cut to fit a wound. Cutting the dressing compromises the super-absorbent core, which can lead to the loss of absorbent material and leakage into the wound bed.

Contraindications: Do not use on patients with a known sensitivity to silicone or any other components of the dressing. Not intended for use on third-degree burns.
