Smith & Nephew COVRSITE Plus Composite Dressing Specific Coverage Criteria: Composite dressings are products combining physically distinct components into a single dressing that provides multiple functions to include a bacterial barrier, an absorptive layer other than an alginate, foam, hydrocolloid, or hydrogel, and either a semi-adherent or non-adherent property over the wound site. May be denied if used with a hydrogel because DMERC considers it an absorptive dressing (see coverage rules).
