Sorry, the "felt" kept the right amount of moisture in the wound for optimum healing, but also absorbed the draining...
Yes! My surgeon had this felt-like "fabric" that i would cut to cover the opening, then cover with a clear adhesive bandage. The "felt" kept he would with the right amount of moisture to heal and absorbed the draining. I think it also had some antibiotic in it. Ask your doc about that...it really worked for me.
My surgeon said to keep it dry and covered while it was healing.
