Absorbent dressings

Absorbent and caring in every situation

We understand that different types of wounds need different types of dressings. Based on research, clinical evidence and user feedback, we’ve developed 5 types of absorbent dressings, each with unique properties and applications: alupad, novopad, absorbent dressing, exsupad and emergency dressing. There’s a suitable absorbent dressing for different types of wounds and levels of exudation.
