Exudate-absorbent dressing, non-gel, antimicrobial

Definition

A wound covering intended to absorb exudates and blood from a wound (e.g., ulcers, burns, surgical wounds, lacerations, abrasions, and/or percutaneous device wounds), and that contains an antimicrobial agent [e.g., silver (Ag), chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG)]. It is not in the form of a gel and does not produce a water-absorbent gel upon contact with wound exudate. It is intended to create a moist wound-healing environment and/or protect wounds from external contamination by microorganisms from the periwound skin. The device may be in the form of a flat sheet/film, ribbon, rope, foam, liquid, or powder. After application, this device cannot be reused.
