How it Works

Finally. A dressing that adapts to a wound’s underlying conditions to provide optimal moisture content for enhanced healing — without maceration. The absolutely non-stick, moist, wound-care dressing that works.

The Problem: Moisture Control

Moisture control is a critical element of wound healing. Dry, desiccated wounds quickly become necrotic, compromising angiogenesis. Conversely, wounds that are too moist show localized maceration, leading to dermal layer separation and increasing the risks of skin sloughing and infection.

The Solution: TheraGauze

TheraGauze is designed to dynamically release or absorb moisture based on the underlying condition of the wound, facilitating healing.

The Problem: Dressings that Stick

Most traditional gauze dressings stick tenaciously to wound exudates, integrating into early formative scabs. Dressing changes often tear apart partially healed epithelial tissue, reversing days of healing and causing unnecessary pain for patients.

The Solution: TheraGauze

TheraGauze can easily be separated from the wound site with no picking, peeling, or scraping. It will not stick when kept moist.

 

The Technology Behind the ProductMicroscopic Fibers

TheraGauze Skin Moisture Rebalancing Technology (SMRT) is a proprietary inert breathable polymer integrated into a nonwoven polyester/rayon substrate. The SMRT polymer in TheraGauze is designed to move fluids to and from the wound interface as required by the differing conditions in the wound. Unlike other dressings, the fluid balance provided by TheraGauze occurs at the wound surface, rather than within the dressing.

 

Why choose TheraGauze as your first choice for a wound-care product? Because TheraGauze delivers what you want and what your patients need:
  • Balanced moisture control
  • High Oxygen permeability
  • Compatibility with most medications
  • Biological inertness
  • Excellent mechanical stability
  • Long-lasting effects–remains moist for several days
With TheraGauze, you don’t have to worry about:
  • Maceration: TheraGauze wicks away exudates from wound surfaces.
  • Wound adherence: If kept moist, TheraGauze’s unique formulation guarantees it won’t stick to the wound.
  • Pain: Dressing changes are a breeze, because TheraGauze won’t adhere to the wound.
  • Residue at wound site: Because TheraGauze maintains its structural integrity, you will never find bits of the dressing in your patient’s wound.
  • Frequent dressing changes: Because TheraGauze remains moist and active for several days, your patients require fewer dressing changes.

What does this mean for your patients?

The best possible care.
