Indications
Under the care of a healthcare professional, EXU-DRY Dressings are indicated as a primary dressing for exudate absorption and the management of superficial to full thickness wounds.

Typical wounds are:
• First and second degree burns
• Venous leg ulcers
• Skin grafts, including those treated with bio-engineered skin substitutes
• EXU-DRY Dressings may also be used for exudate management associated with lymphedema
• EXU-DRY Dressings may also be used for exudate management and anti-shear benefits associated with skin sloughing disorders
• EXU-DRY Dressings may also be used for exudate management associated with superficial to full thickness wounds treated with bio-engineered skin substitutes

Secondary dressing
EXU-DRY Dressings may be used as a secondary dressing and used in combination with other products (e.g. DURAFIBER◊ Absorbent Gelling Fibrous Dressing, ALGISITE◊ M Calcium Alginate Wound Dressing and INTRASITE◊ Gel Hydrogel Wound Dressing). The dressing may be used under compression if required, however, dressings may require more frequent changes.  For sheet dressings equipped with elastic straps, fix to a single bed mattress. A patient may then be placed onto the bed covered by the dressing.
