Item Brochure
A typical highly exudating wound drains over 10 ml of uid per day.

In an
in vitro
study that simulates the drainage of a wound, Versatel was shown to
be an efficient transfer layer for uid. Versatel allowed an average of 16.2 ml
of uid to pass through during 2.5 hours, which is equal to 155.52 ml per day.

Fluid Transferred Through Versatel
ELIMINATES RISK OF SECONDARY DRESSING ADHESION
Versatel is a conformable, fl exible, translucent silicone contact layer wound dressing.
Channels in the dressing allow fl uid to easily transfer to an absorbent secondary
dressing. Silicone coating minimizes pain during removal. Recommended for partial
and full-thickness wounds.

Gentle
The silicone coating allows for gentle
adhesion and eliminates potential
trauma from the secondary dressing
adhering to the wound.
Conformable
Versatel’s exible and pliable design
allows it to conform to body contours,
improving patient comfort.
Fluid Transfer
Translucent
Allows easy viewing of the wound
upon application and between
dressing changes.
Versatel is designed to allow
wound uid to easily transfer into
a secondary dressing.
