Spenco 2nd Skin is a hydrogel sheet, consisting of cross-linked polyethylene oxide, and containing 96% water, supported upon a net of low density polyethylene, which provides strength. The gel, which is capable of absorbing approximately its own weight of wound exudate, is permeable to water vapor and oxygen, but impermeable to water and bacteria.
The dressing provides a moist environment upon the surface of the wound and provided that it is not allowed to dry out, the dressing will not adhere to the underlying tissue upon removal.
