What are the benefits of gelling fibre dressings?

Gelling fibre dressings help to:^3,4

• manage wound exudate;
• make autolytic debridement easier (i.e. removal of dead tissue, debris and slough from the wound);
• reduce the risk of infection;
• promote tissue granulation; and
• maintain a moist wound healing environment.

By choosing the right gelling fibre dressing, you can reduce how often you have to change the dressing.³ So in this way, gelling fibre dressings create a better experience for your patients as well.
