PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Farmactive CM C is a sterile hydro-active dressing, composed of non-woven gelling fibres of pure sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCM C). The dressing is soft, conformable and highly absorbent; it absorbs exudate vertically, thus instantly forming a soft gel that retains the absorbed fluids.
These gelling properties contribute therefore to maintaining the optimal moist environment of the wound, thus promoting its healing processes and making dressing removal non-traumatic, without causing damage to the newly-formed tissue. The product is biocompatible and non-irritating
