Apply with ease
Dermatac Drape combines skin-friendly silicone with acrylic adhesive allowing the drape to be easily applied and repositioned. It maintains a strong seal, yet it’s gentle enough to help minimize the pain out of dressing removal.

Saves time
Save nursing time with quicker dressing changes compared to traditional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) drapes.1,2 Dermatac Drape conforms easily to various anatomical locations and can be repositioned after initial placement.

Minimize pain at drape removal
Help mitigate peri-wound skin irritation. A recent study suggests that Dermatac Drape may improve patient experience when using NPWT by helping improve patient comfort at drape removal.3

Seal in the heal
Provides a strong and effective seal to help support the healing process. Dermatac Drape conforms to various anatomical locations without loss of the negative pressure and acts as a barrier to external contaminants while providing peri-wound protection.4

Maintain moisture
