KerraMax Care is a super absorbent dressing for moderate to highly exuding wounds such as leg and diabetic foot ulcers. This sterile dressing absorbs the excess wound fluid, locks it away inside the unique wicking layer, and helps reduce skin from feeling soft and wet. This dressing has a high absorption level, which enables fewer changes, minimising the disturbance to the wound.
