A non-bioabsorbable material or substance designed to be inserted into a wound bed to create an appropriate environment for healing (e.g., warm, moist, absorbent). It is typically used for the management of deep secondary-healing wounds, particularly for indications such as stage III and IV pressure ulcers, deep leg ulcers, cavity wounds, excisions, and post-op wound dehiscence. It is often designed to conform to the wound bed to support tissues and is often nonadherent to provide for patient comfort during wound management. This is a single-use device.
