A novel hybrid hydrogel/hydrocolloid dressing. Half water and glycerin for standard hydrogel cooling and soothing application while hydrating dry to lightly exuding wounds. Half sodium CMC and super absorbent polymer blend for impressive absorption. This "smart dressing" can be used on dry to moderately exuding wounds, cutting down the number of dressings needed. The dressing minimizes lateral wicking, reducing maceration. Wound fluid is locked into the dressing.- HCS Adhesive Dressing, Sterile, 3" x 3", 10/bx, 4 bx/cs
