This plaster is used in the moist wound healing technique, based on carboxymethylcellulose or CMC in the form of hydrocolloids, small particles which form a gel on contact with exudates.

The plaster can remain in place for 4 to 6 days, depending on the stage of the wound (detersion, budding, healing). The sheet can be cut to size. Washable, its impermeability means it can be used for showers and baths.
