3M Adaptic Non-Adhering Dressing

Adaptic Dressing is a primary dressing made of knitted cellulose acetate mesh, impregnated with a specially formulated petrolatum emulsion

How does it work?
The unique cellulose acetate mesh of Adaptic Dressing protects regenerating tissue by minimising wound trauma at dressing change.
The pore size of Adaptic Dressing allows easy passage of exudate to the secondary absorbent dressing, minimising the risk of pooling and maceration at the wound site. It also reduces the risk of tissue adherence to both the Adaptic Dressing and the secondary dressing. 

When do I use it?
Adaptic Dressing is indicated for dry to highly exudating wounds including:
• First- and second-degree burns
• Lacerations and abrasions
• Grafts
• Venous leg ulcers
• Pressure injuries
• Nail extractions
• Excema
• Staples and suture lines
• Surgical incisions
• Reconstructive procedures
