Kerramax Care is a super absorbent dressing for moderate to highly exuding wounds. The sterile dressing absorbs the excess wound fluid and locks it away inside, and helps to reduce skin from feeling soft and wet. Kerramax has a high absorption level, which enables fewer dressing changes and minimises the wound's disturbance.
