Sequa®Cel CMC Dressing is a sterile nonwoven wound dressing composed of 100% Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) fibers. The Sequa®Cel CMC Dressing is highly absorbent, conformable and wet integral. As wound exudates are absorbed, the CMC fibers form a soft gel which assists to keep a moist environment to support the wound healing process and promote the removal of nonviable tissue from the wound, without damaging newly formed tissue
A wound covering, typically made of a hydrocolloid, hydrofibre, chitosan or alginate (salts and acids extracted from seaweed), intended to produce a water-absorbent gel upon contact with wound exudate; it does not contain an antimicrobial agent. The device assists in wound healing by absorbing exudate in wounds (e.g., ulcers, burns, surgical wounds, lacerations, abrasions) for minimal wound maceration, allowing wound debridement, and creating a moist wound-healing environment. The device may be in the form of a flat sheet/film, ribbon, rope, foam, liquid, paste, or powder. After application, this device cannot be reused.
