Yes our vet recommended it. Keeps wounds moist and draws out any muck. Its also cheaper to get it from a chemist than the vet (no prescription needed).
I have used it for years and swear by it. It is fantastic wound management and the other Smith & Nephew products are equally good. I have a big range of their wound management and scar treatment pads. Have had some nasty wounds to deal with other the years and using their products I have had not one scar. I buy it direct from Smith & Nephew and its loads cheaper than from the vet.
