Key Features of Versiva Heel Dressings
Versiva is a premium foam composite dressing that synergistically combines foam with Hydrofiber technology to reduce the common shortcomings of traditional foam dressings, namely: lack of fluid retention, high risk of maceration due to over-saturation of the wound bed, and inability to maintain an optimally moist wound environment. Aside from supporting wound healing with an optimal moisture balance, Versiva dressing is also distinctive in that, even after a maximum wear time of seven days, it is designed to remove more gently and with less trauma to the wound than other adhesive-based foam dressings.
