• Dressing Architecture:
  Protection Layer:
  - The layer that makes contact with the wound bed and surrounding healthy skin
  - Supports 2 critical functions: regulating moisture and protecting healthy skin
  - Unidirectional fibers only wick moisture vertically through this layer
  Micro-Knit Process:
  - Proprietary technology created by Milliken Healthcare Products, LLC
  - Creates the transferring mechanism by which the two layers interact
  - Facilitates balance and regulates moisture at the wound bed
  Transfer Layer:
  - Designed to be extremely hydrophilic
  - Pulls exudate through the Protection Layer, distributes and transfers it intosecondary dressing
  - Creates a continuous capacity to handle moisture and exudate
