At CelluHeal™, we understand that optimal wound healing isn’t just about what touches the wound—it’s also about how it's protected. Our Foam & Film Secondary Dressings are designed to provide breathable, non-traumatic coverage that supports healing while maintaining a moist environment and safeguarding the primary dressing.
Whether you’re treating post-surgical wounds, chronic ulcers, burns, or trauma injuries, secondary dressings play a critical role in preventing external contamination, managing exudate, and improving patient comfort. Our advanced foam and film solutions are built for both clinical use and at-home care—ideal for sensitive skin and fragile wounds.
🌬️ Why Choose Foam & Film as Secondary Dressings?
Foam Secondary Dressings provide soft, absorbent padding that helps manage wound exudate while cushioning the area to prevent pressure injuries. They’re ideal for moderate to heavily exuding wounds and can be used with or without primary dressings.
Film Secondary Dressings are thin, transparent, and flexible—perfect for low-exudate wounds that require moisture retention and visibility without compromising protection. These are breathable yet waterproof, helping keep contaminants out while letting oxygen in.
