Application

Composition
- Core Material: Contains sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and calcium alginate for absorption and gel formation.
- Transparent Version: Free from pectin, latex, colophony, and animal derivatives, allowing for wound inspection without removal.
Mode of Action
Upon contact with wound exudate, Comfeel Plus forms a viscous gel that does not adhere to the wound bed. Excess moisture evaporates through the top film, enabling patients to bathe or shower without compromising the dressing.
Application Guidelines

- Avoid overstretching to prevent skin trauma.
- Suitable for cutting to fit specific areas.
