Exudate-absorbent dressing, non-gel, non-antimicrobial

Definition

A wound covering intended to assist in wound healing by absorbing exudate in wounds (e.g., ulcers, burns, surgical wounds, lacerations, abrasions) and often by creating a moist wound-healing environment. It is not in the form of a gel and does not produce a water-absorbent gel upon contact with wound exudates, but may be designed to absorb and remove exudates (e.g., by capillary action); it does not contain an antimicrobial agent, but may include antioxidant properties. The device is available in a variety of forms (e.g., flat sheet/film-like, impregnated pouches, filled sachets, lyophilized matrix, ribbon, rope, foam, liquid, or powder). After application, this device cannot be reused.
