Fibrosol Non-Adherent Hydrofibre Dressings

Fibrosol® dressings are Carboxymethyl cellulose non-woven dressings. The characteristics of the fibre are such that it absorbs when it comes into contact with liquid, not via the usual mechanism of capillary action. Absorbed fluid is retained within the structure of the fibre. As Fibrosol® absorbs exudate it is rapidly converted from a dry dressing to a soft, coherent gel. Fibrosol® maintains a moist environment for optimal wound healing, aids autolytic debridement, and is easily removed with little or no damage to newly formed tissue.
