MED 5541H

Hydrocolloid

MED 5541H is a single-coated, transparent polyurethane film with an advanced and highly integrated hydrocolloid formulation. This product's absorbent adhesive is designed to not break down upon saturation, to provide for a low profile, to assist in creating optimal skin and wound healing conditions, and has a high fluid handling capacity. Its high tack property offers a high degree of securement.
