Ease of application, rapid debridement times, and economical product costs make BioBag an efficient debridement solution for all non-healing wounds.
Each of the five available sizes in the BioBag product range (BB50, BB100, BB200, BB300 and BB400) have been awarded the contract under Schedule 65 II A – Medical Equipment and Supplies.
