Cuticell®

is a sterile, non-medicated, low adherent dressing due to its ointment coating. The small mesh size made of smooth acetate fabric helps prevent tissue ingrowth and is also permeable to air and exudate. The open weave allows exudate to pass through into a sterile, absorbent secondary dressing.

  • Atraumatic dressing changes
  • Undisturbed wound healing 
  • Maintains a moist environment

Intended Purpose

Indications: Cuticell is used as a primary wound contact layer in the treatment of superficial exudating wounds such as: burns, abrasions, lacerations, radiation injuries, donor and recipient skin graft sites.
