Mextra Superabsorbent 12.5x12.5cm61000
Product Description
Mextra Superabsorbent is intended for use on moderately to heavily exuding wounds. Mextra Superabsorbent absorbs wound exudate through the wound contact layer, retains the exudate within the core and thereby reduces the risk of maceration. The water repellent and breathable backing material protects against fluid strike through, which prevents from leakage and helps protect clothing and bed linen.
Mextra Superabsorbent is a superabsorbent dressing with a fluid-repellent nonwoven backing, a core consisting of superabsorbent particles and a nonwoven wound contact layer. Mextra Superabsorbent absorbs wound exudate through the wound contact layer, retains the exudate within the core and reduce the risk for maceration. The fluid-repellent nonwoven backing acts as a barrier and prevents exudate strike-through.
Mextra Superabsorbent can be used by lay persons under supervision of health care professionals. It can be used where high absorbency is required as a primary dressing directly on the wound or as a secondary dressing.
Mextra Superabsorbent can be used in conjunction with compression therapy for venous leg ulcers.

Mextra Superabsorbent should be changed according to the clinical condition of the wound, or before saturated.
