Wound exudate is transformed into a gel inside the dressing and cannot affect the wound surface in any unfavourable way, or soften the area around the wound. It will stay dry on the surface and eliminate any odour from the wound. • Relevo is made from cellulose and super absorbent polymers, with a cover of polypropylene • Product disposal is – normal waste, combustion from carbon dioxide and water
