Control MoreChange Less Unique Exudate Management Technology Makes Wound Care EasierTIELLE Hydropolymer Adhesive Dressings are fluid handling systems. As exudate is absorbed by the dressing, the hydropolymer central island swells and fills any irregular contours to the wound, minimizing exudate build-up and the chance of maceration. Excess moisture is held in the wicking layer next to the polyurethane backing. The vapor-permeable backing allows excess moisture to evaporate through the back of the dressing. As the exudate evaporates, the TIELLE Hydropolymer Dressing is able to manage additional exudate. This process occurs continuously throughout the wear time.
